This image was created with the tripod-mounted Canon EF 800mm f\/5.6L IS USM Autofocus lens<\/a> and the Canon EOS-1D X digital SLR <\/a>. ISO 800. Evaluative metering +1 stop off the low sky: 1\/3200 sec. at f\/6.3 in Manual mode. Central sensor\/AI Servo Surround\/Rear Focus AF active at the moment of exposure.

The wing position in this image, with the bird’s wings fully up, is ideal. Note that I was working 99.99% right down sun angle. The tiny shadow of the bend of the near wing on the dorsal surface of the far wing indicates that I was off by .01%. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
