Unfortunately, Mother Nature was not co-operating the other day when I took this shot.

It was late afternoon and the sky was grey - not a great combo when photographing a white bird against a snowy white background.

Canon 5D Mark III with the 500L f4 lens handheld @ 1/1000, f6.7, ISO 800, + 1 1/2 exposure compensation. White balanced to remove the dull grey look.

On these dull grey days, the camera has difficulty focusing on moving white/grey objects against a white/grey background, therefore my keepers were very limited, but we take what we can get.

Cheers,

Mike
