I am finally back to Canada after a long and amazing journey. I spent my final week in Ecuador in the Amazon and it was a fantastic experience. Here is one of the little beauties that I really wanted to photograph there. This was a really difficult bird to photograph so I was extremely happy to come away with this one.Its good to be home :)Camera Model: Canon EOS 50DShutter speed: 1/40 secAperture: 5.6Flash: OnISO: 400Focal length: 500mm + 1.4xI have also posted a load of new photos, a new journal entry and also a final video blog here - http://www.glennbartley.com/naturephotography/ecuador.html
First, thanks for sharing your trip. I really enjoyed my virtual trip to Ecuador.
Second, this picture is great. I think it not only captures the bird it also captures the personality of the Amazon.
That's a beautiful species and yet another one that I've never seen before...Great job as always with getting the shot and welcome back!
