Wild Turkey taken with my Nikon D60 w/200mm Lens in Dripping Springs, TX USA These wild turkeys came for a visit! I grabbed my camera and shot pics for over an hour. It was a mostly cloudy day. I tried several different settings using Shutter priority and Aperature priority. For this one I used Shutter Priority and spot metering. f 4.8 1/125 second ISO 250
You certainly chose the right exposure for this beauty. What a great picture Cathy and I can well imagine the fun you would have had clicking merrily away for an hour or so! Hope all is well Take care Peter
Peter! I’m so happy to hear from you! Thank you for the kind words and visit- I’m so glad you like Turkey boy! It was absolutely a dream come true to photograph these birds! I’m doing really well- how the heck are you? I’ve really missed talking to you on RB! Hope your doing as well! hugs- Cathy
Fabulous image,…..They being wild,..surprised you could even get a shot of them,…. Specially one this great,…
Hi John! Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment :) I know I couldn’t believe they didn’t fly away as soon as they saw me. They followed me around for over an hour- I could have pet them they were so close! thanks again! Cathy
