Did you use special lighting again Ashish? It looks very nice

[Shadowman]

Very dramatic capture.

just for future reference what lens are you using in this shot. I doubt that I have the skills to use it as well but i am curious.

Hi Brian,

The EXIF data shows a 150mm f/2.8 lens, used at f/16 on a Canon 5D Mk.3, at 1/200s and ISO100.

Hi Ashish,

That's another good shot of the wings, although it is a shame, at this angle and light, that we cannot properly see the head.

Did you use special lighting again Ashish?

If I were to guess, I'd say you were shooting these in dappled sunlit areas and carefully controlling exposure and post processing, rather than using any lighting yourself.

Cheers, Dave

Beautiful moody shot, Ashish...I like the drama you created here.

Thanks Binnur... Sorry for the late reply. Was out of town for a few days. This shot was taken using a remote flash mounted with a grid.

Sorry for the late reply Brian... was out of town for a few days. I was using a Sigma 150mm F2.8 Macro Lens.

Thank you for your thoughts Dave...This image was taken using a remote flash mounted with a grid. the ambient light was uneven and hence thought of using remote flash to focus the light on the subject.

Okay after all this time this may sound like a silly question but here goes. What do I click to find the data of the shot?

I like the colours in this shot, Ashish. I wonder if the lights on the objects above and to the left of the subject need to be toned down a little so they are not competing for the viewer's attention...
