Lilac-Breasted Roller
Uploaded: February 17, 2008
This most glorious of birds was perched on a bush in the Masai Mara region of Kenya. In October, it was quite hot and I was about to head back to camp. The bird stayed and stayed, allowing me to take approximately 80 frames, my favorite of which is this one.
Taken with the Canon 500mm f/4 lens, with a 1.4X extender, at f/7.1, 1/100th second, ISO 400.
Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/100 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 500.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark II

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
