Yes, far more important than the gear. Plus a bit of luck.

And yes, this shot would have been possible with a film camera. But you would have had maybe six frames to choose from if you were lucky. Not 156 🙂 The world is changing.

Thanks, Andrew. Color casts are most common in low light and are almost always caused by reflections off the surroundings, in this case, greenish and yellowish grasses and other vegetation. The feathers are still white. So, an Osprey or any other bird would never “have that coloring.” I will address the exposure question in the next post.
