Eiders

Hi all

Here are some shots of Eiders. It can be a challenge to expose the male correctly but I'm pretty happy with these. Please feel free to comment (C&C).

Excellent series Sindri. Crisp, clean and full of great light. Well done!

show off !!! Sindri--these shots are amazing! the last three are spectacular. you are right about properly exposuring the male common eiders. because their eyes are dark as well as their head, it's very difficult to get good exposure on the eye. BUT YOU DID!!! great job. You do realize that the last image should be the iconic image people see to identify these birds. IT is absolutely breathtaking...did you take it w/ your 55-200? + 1.4?

Excellent Eider shots Sindri. Tough with a black and white bird. But yours are very good. I love the in- flight shot!

Seems like its Edier duck post time. I'll have to find my King Eider and start a thread.

Outstanding series of well captured images Sindri.

Great shots! I love the 1st and last the most. They have a big head

Another beautiful series Sindri. I really like the little things in #3, the wave caught breaking on the bow and the whites and blacks both just right.

Ditto! These are magnificent. You have continued your standard of excellence Sindri. A joy to view this series!

fantastic sindi i hope the bigma was'nt used if so im doing some thing wrong ef55-200

Wonderfull set of shot's and a stunning looking bird shown to its best.

A great job Sindri, love them all.

Man, you need to contact the folks at Audibon and get a commission to illustrate their next field guide with your photos! Awesome work, every shot.

Beautiful images Sindri. Clear, crisp and excellent detail. Fantastic! The bird isn't bad either!

I am hoping to photograph some Eiders when we visit the Maine coast in late September.

where did you photograph these and HOW did you get so close?

Exceptional as usual Sindri! I love these and I must say I love your pictures in general.
