Today , with intrepidation and great anticipation I tried out my new Canon 1DX at the Austen Roberts Bird Sanctuary in Pretoria.
I am still coming to grips with the new AF system and I had mixed results.
I came away with this image of a Black -bellied Whistling Duck.It is an introduced species to Southern Africa ( occurring in the southern United States and in central South America ) and I had not photographed one before.
Canon 1D X
400mm F 5.6
f/7.1
1/3200
ISO 1250
Manual
Metering Evaluative
cropped all round
Shot out of hand
All comments and suggestions/recommendation welcomed
