Symmetry & Detail - common loon flap
« on: July 25, 2017, 03:02:29 »
This fellow was imaged two weeks ago in northern Michigan.

Although I generally prefer to see the eye/face, I thought the form and detail here made for an interesting image.

D810  600mm VR  1/2500s  ISO 500

Taken from my little boat, Loonie Too!

Advice and comments always appreciated.

Cheers

Randy

No advice from me, but I have been enjoying your loon series.  Thanks for posting them.

Randy, I am with Keith.  Thank you for sharing the antics of these delightful birds via your excellent images - unfortunately these Loons are not a species that we see in my part of the world.

The loon needs a bitmore practice, the wings are not that even :)
