Finally, a photo outing – to WWT Arundel – only the second one for the whole of September. Kicking off with this contrasting photo: a brightly coloured Mandarin Duck in a small patch of light in an otherwise dark forest. It was resting on one leg, barely moving, which gave me a chance for this shot. If you check the details below: it was snapped at an ultra-slow 1/200 s – easily the slowest photo ever published in this newsletter. Even at that shutter speed – still ISO 8000 – that is how dark it was out there in the shadows.
