This image was created on the Fall 2018 DeSoto IPT on the morning of Septemeber 26, 2018. Standing at full height behind my tripod, I used the Induro (https://www.outdoorphotogear.com/search.php?search_query=indurogrand&rfsn=132487.5cf37.9906) GIT 304L/Mongoose M3.6 (http://birdsasart-shop.com/mongoose-action-head/)-mounted Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR lens (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1166859-REG/nikon_af_s_nikkor_600mm_f_4e.html/BI/6633/KBID/7226/kw/NI6004EEDVR/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xNI6004EEDVR) and the mega mega-pixel Nikon D850 DSLR. (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1351688-REG/nikon_d850_dslr_camera_body.html/BI/6633/KBID/7226/kw/NID850/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xNID850) ISO 400. Matrix metering at about zero: 1/4000 sec. at f/6.3 in Manual mode was perfect with the histogram pushed all the way to the right. AUTO1 WB at 7:41am on a clear morning.
Nikon Focus Peaking fine-tune value: +5. See the Nikon AF Fine-tune e-Guide here (http://birdsasart-shop.com/the-nikon-af-fine-tune-e-guide/).
One to the right of center Group (grp) Continuous (C in Nikon/AI Servo with Canon) AF was active at the moment of exposure. The array was centered on the bird’s neck right on the same plane as the eye. (Note: today I would use d9 AF for images like this.)
To see the original check out the My Two Favorite Backgrounds. And in search of soft, out-of-focus blue water ... blog post here. (http://www.birdsasart-blog.com/2019/06/20/my-two-favorite-backgrounds-and-in-search-of-soft-out-of-focus-blue-water/) You might learn a lot about image clean-up ...
As for the image, don't be shy; all comments are appreciated.
