Tanagers come in every color imaginable across an estimated 240 species. They exist mainly in the tropics of the western hemisphere. I photographed this moss-backed tanager high in the cloud forest of Ecuador. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 250mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/320th of a second.
Beautiful!! When you are photographing “high in the cloud forest of Ecuador” what do the logistics of that look like? Are you in a tree stand of some sort? A harness/sling? Just trying to get an idea of what you have to do in order to get an incredible shot like this! Thank you in advance 🙂
