Costa Rica Photography Print | Blue-Gray tanager (Thraupis episcopus)

$140.00

About the Artwork

  • The Story: This tranquil wildlife photograph captures the soft, serene beauty of a Blue-Gray Tanager perched elegantly on a thick, moss-covered branch during a steady tropical downpour. Seeking cover within a nearby forest shelter to safeguard my gear, I framed the songbird just inches away from a vibrant epiphytic plant, showcasing its powder-blue plumage as it provided a striking, refreshing contrast to the dense wall of green surrounding it. As a wildlife nature conservation photographer, documenting these active, fruit-eating understory residents highlights the incredible abundance of avian life that relies on the pristine primary forests preserved within Central America's montane eco-zones.

  • The Technique: Captured from a protected forest shelter using a high-resolution Nikon Z8 mirrorless camera and a powerful 200-500mm Nikkor zoom lens mounted on a stable tripod with a fluid gimbal head, employing a fast shutter speed to sharply carve out the vertical streaks of falling rain while maintaining smooth tracking control over the bird.
