crimson rosella in the rain

[avkomp]

raining outside about now. lots of sorry looking birds out there.
this rosella was taken from my verandah sitting in the soon to be re leafing maple.
minimalist shot cos I wanted to try to capture some rain in the pic.

Excellent shot Stephen. I like the framing and the textured effect provided by the rain.

I was surprised at how slow a shutter speed you need to get the rain effect I wanted

[Grumpy John]

Very well done considering the slow shutter speed, lucky it wasn't windy as well.

[avkomp]

my 600 is like a sail in the wind, next to useless on stationary targets, but luckily no wind here. can get away with slow speeds on the wimberley with right technique, but a little vibration goes a long way

Special shot that Stephen. The colours are great. The parrot really pops with that pastel background.

Great shot. Like the backdrop of rain.

I love the rain. Provides a character of solemnity
