Ottawa West

Two images merged for comparison of the female and male Pileated Woodpeckers. The image of the female was taken using my 500 mm fixed lens mounted on a tripod at about 6 meters away. For the male, I used my 80 - 400 lens at 340mm, mounted on a monopod at about five meters away.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 500mm f/4G ED VR
1/640s f/7.1 at 500.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
