As promised, here is another picture of me taken by Mike last winter. With the first morning’s light, my feathers are not white – not even the snow. And I’ve got to tell you, with the wind chill factor, it was cruelly frigid at this time of day. At least I’m protected by my feathers and down, but I must admit I don’t know how Mike and his friends manage to tough it out – it must be hard on the camera equipment and the fingers!
Canon 40D, with 100-400 lens @ 170mm lens focal distance, 1/1250, f6.3, 400ISO, = 1/3 exposure compensation.
