Crows and Royalty

[cmr164]

Every royal palace I have visited seems to have a tradition of crows living there. At one I was told that after tasting the blood of executed royals that the crows remain forever looking for such a meal again. John (rutt) might have some shots of them from London, here is mine from the Imperial Palace grounds in Tokyo. They are extremely difficult to photograph against a light sky. Note that the IS on the 500mm helped keep things steady with the 1/160th.

ISO 200 , f/4.0 , 1/160 , 500mm

Good one Charles. That was an extremely tough shot to expose and you did a great job on it. :thumb

Thanks for the kind words.


When are you getting your 500 f/4.0L IS ?
