[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Evening.

This is a shot I took a few weeks back when I had a free minute from my teaching course!

It was the first time using the 70-200 and I loved the results it produced immediately. Barely any PP needed.

I was right on the edge of the water and as low as I could get. Shot at ISO 500, 200mm, overcast WB.

Hope you like it.
Simon

Hi Simon

It looks like a great lens. Lovely capture here - real character. I was taking little chicks like this today as they were splashing through the puddles (did you get the thunderstorms today?). Wonderful POV, wonderful pose and pin sharp

salut Simon,
j'aime beaucoup ces images simple, elles donnent de très bon résultat. Bonne maîtrise de la vitesse pour figer la mouvement et les gouttes d'eau (malheureusment assez peu visible).
well done
