\"chukar<\/a><\/p>\n

1\/2500, f\/6.3, ISO 500, 100-400 @ 400mm, natural light<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Last week I was able to get so close to this Chukar that I had to quickly grab one of my other cameras with a shorter lens attached.\u00a0 I liked the setting of black mustard (named for the color of its seeds).<\/p>\n

The only problem was that some of the these long-stemmed\u00a0and bright flowers were leaning over the rock and the wind kept blowing them in front of the bird so I had to try to time my shots when I had a good head turn from the Chukar at the same time as there were as few flowers as possible between me and the bird.\u00a0 This was my best result, with only one out of focus flower just above and in front of the right leg.<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0 I\u2019ll be out of town\u00a0for a few days this week with no computer access and a\u00a0limited and unreliable cell phone signal so I\u2019ll likely\u00a0get\u00a0any comments you may leave (via email) but I won\u2019t be able to respond to them until I return.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
