Default A mother's love and you wind up with this:


Shot using a Canon 1DmkII and 100-400 lens.

The handsome bird above is a Vulturine Guinea Fowl.* If anyone is interested there is another shot (link below) that shows the beautiful colors of this bird (and seriously, I'm not kidding about the "beautiful" part).

SUPER job with exposure on this. Was this "beauty" taken in your studio ?

I have a lavender guinea that keeps "watch" over our chickens. Their feather colors ARE MUCH more beautiful than their face.

Hi Mark:

Amazing how some birds do well in a studio (well, after their makeup is on). * Please forgive my bad studio humor; I'm not up to this because I don't have a studio.

Thanks for the compliment regarding exposure.* I spend a lot of time in the field to set up what I think is optimum exposure and then auto-bracket exposure to ensure I get at least one shot close to the mark.

Regards,

Joe Kurkjian
