This image was created on one of our two North Seymour landings on July 23 on the 2019 Galapagos Photo-Cruise of a Lifetime IPT. I used the handheld Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS lens (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1333230-REG/sony_sel100400gm_fe_100_400mm_f_4_5_5_6_gm.html/BI/6633/KBID/7226/kw/SO100400GM/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xSO100400GM) with the Sony FE 1.4x teleconverter (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1222777-REG/sony_sel14tc_fe_1_4x_teleconverter.html/BI/6633/KBID/7226/kw/SOTC14/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xSOTC14) (at at 560mm) and the high mega-pixel Sony Alpha a7R III Mirrorless Digital camera body. (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369441-REG/sony_ilce7rm2_b_alpha_a7r_iii_mirrorless.html/BI/6633/KBID/7226/kw/SOA7R3/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xSOA7R3) ISO 3200. Exposure determined by Zebras with ISO on the rear dial: 1/160 sec. at f/8 in Manual mode. AWB at 5:48pm when a large cloudy covered the sun. Flexible Spot (S) Continuous/tracking AF was active at the moment of exposure. The selected AF point was placed on the gull’s left eye.
The key here was getting the AF point on the gull's eye. Moving the AF point around with SONY is an absolute pleasure.
