28 in the Sprinkler

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| This parrot is called a 28 (for some unknown reason) I caught him having a drink and a wash early one morning on the fence at my house. The ring around the spray droplets are typical of the lens used here. I took it hand-held with a catadioptric Minolta 500mm reflex lens with a fixed f/8 aperture. It was a fairly fast shutter here, but I cannot remember exactly what it was. The camera is the newest Konica Minolta 7D digital SLR which I am still experimenting with. Hopefully, in the future, you will see more photos taken with this camera. |

He looks happy like a king this bird! When i was 14 years old, i read somewhere, that parrot love showers... Now it's proof? Hard to take picture like that with my pet. She's a cat... But she told me, she would apreciate a meeting with this bird! The photo is really good!It look to be a lot of water for this bird!
wow, marvelous moment,and the parrot was taking its shower~~ i supposed that if the shutter speed were more faster,we would perhaps get the bird more clearly and the water drops were floating in the air,
cheers,

Nice shot! Clever use of the cat to create the ring shaped highlights. Incidentally it's called a "28" because that's the sound of its call - "wenniate" or thereabouts, curiously it's also about 28cm long. Scientific name is Barnardius zonarius if you want to learn more about it. Interesting to see a picture from the 7D too - how are you finding it? You should also be able to get the shutter speed from the EXIF data embedded into JPEG. Good capture :-D

Interesting how the refracting lens makes the donuts. This must have been a funny sight to see "28" doing this.
