Arch support

Uploaded: February 19, 2006

Description

This downy woodpecker was hanging off my dogwood tree, arching backwards to pick off insects that were on the outside of the nesting pocket I had hanging off a nearby limb... That tail HAS to be strong to support the woodpecker like that!

Taken with my Sigma 70-200 EX with 2X converter: 1/800s f/7.1 at 400.0mm iso200.

Discussions by Category: You can view photo discussions on various themes in the Community > Photo Discussions section of the site.

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.


 

The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:

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

You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
