Cold and hungry

[Colin Driscoll]

A Little Egret facing into a cold 20 knot breeze that is stirring up all its favorite hunting areas.
1DXII 600 III 1.4 III 840mm HH

Cropped, S&H and sharpen on the bird, removed brown rock cast from under the bird

Like the pose and the splashing water in the background. Looks nice and sharp.

This is nice.
I like the whites ( but would work a bit more on the whites of head and tail-unless you have already done this to the max) and that splash of water behind the egret.
The rock are nice and create a nice diagonal line. That single toenail that is visible is kinda cool.
How are you enjoying your 600 v3?

[Colin Driscoll]

Enjoying it very much Gail, although it is the first 600 I have had.
Love the balance but am still nutting out the best BIF AF settings (I do have the guide by Arash).
Compared with my previous 800mm combo of 400 2.8 plus 2x, AF is way snappier with the 600 plus 2x.
