Dipper

[SamFisher]

This year I have been trying to get shots of the many Dippers on our stretch of the River Don.
Because the river runs through steep wooded banks, light (or lack of) is the main problem.
Here is todays effort.

600D, EF100-400L, ISO 1600, 1/640 @ f5.6

Re: Dipper

Excellent, saw one on our local stream earlier in the year but no sign since.

Quite a few on other rivers in the area though.

Re: Dipper

Nice shot Mike and as you say they are quite difficult to get a decent shot of due to the light along the rivers

Re: Dipper

Superb shot.

Sharp as a button, good pose, spot on exposure and good composition with nothing distracting in the fame. Don't get them in this part of the world so I do envy you.
