Canon 1DX
f/4 500mm with 1.4
f/6.3
1/1000
ISO 1000
These guys are building a nest about 10 feet from my hide at the loch. They swim back and forth in front of the hide, but my window for seeing them is limited as they swim close and amongst dead wood in the loch. POV is also a problem unless they swim further away from me. I managed to capture this one as it paused for a couple of seconds, they swim very fast, and often dive. Looking back, I should have upped my ISO and maybe went for f/7.1 or f/8 with a faster SS. I never applied any sharpening to the feathers, as I thought, with them being wet, they looked sharp enough.
