Bird Photo Competition 1 2014 : Entry Number 277

Judges Comment

The use of slow shutter speeds can create a sense of movement, but needs considerable skill to create an image that works, rather than a messy blur.

Photographers Comment

Thank you for another Mark of Excellence. This shot shows a black-necked grebe. I shot a series of 14 pictures but only the 2nd one was sharp enough. Shot with Canon 1DX + 600mm EF f4 + 2 TK + 580EX Flash @ 1/80 sec f13
