What a strange shaped head. Looks like someone grabbed the bill and stretched the head out! Your shots are tremendous! That flight shot is out of this world!

Thank you Keith, bsmith6280, Grizz, Reyno, Chi-Wai, Mitch, Dennis, J Palmer, Rob, Cannylad, Bob, EdV, montreal, snappa, downywp, Stephen, Trevor, Brandon, Alan, DonE, Fee, JimLittle, Karen, Phil, Joe and Malcolm for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. :-)

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?

I used the Bigma (Sigma 50-500mm) for all of these shots.

Grizz wrote in post #3141069 (external link)
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.

I look forward to seeing them. :-)

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

I did use the Bigma for all of these shots. Love this lens. :-) I really like your work and you have been posting some excellent shots with the Bigma. :-)

bsmith6280 wrote in post #3141623 (external link)
where did you photograph these and HOW did you get so close?

It's actually not that hard to get close to the Eiders here in Iceland. Take the time to study the birds behaviour and you will be rewarded. ;-)a

How right you are! ;-)a These are all taken with the Bigma. :-)

Glad you liked them mate. As one Bigma owner to another...don't you just love this lens? I'm still amazed by the IQ it delivers. Really a joy to work with. :-)


Best regards

Sindri
