Pelican


I was taking shots below Black Eagle Dam in Great Falls, MT when I was treated with a pair of feeding Pelicans in the rough falls. This one kept taking off only to land twenty yards off then float back into the wash. I took the chance to catch a take off by opening the lens up and bumping the shutter speed up. Taken with Canon 50D and Sigma 150-500mm DG OS super telephoto lens. f/6.3 ISO 200 at 1/640 sec exposure and 500mm focal length. Sunlight white balance and center weighted average metering. Shot using Slik Lighty POD III mono pod.
