Just got back from Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Overcast all day, so high ISO were required. I had a lot of fun trying out new things today. I stuck with Manual the entire day and hand held the 500, never once reaching for the tripod. I added four more species to my life-list :)
This was one of my favorites from the day. It's by no means a rare bird, but it's the first time I was able to capture one running on water. I got the hang of when they would take off and was able to get in position to get some keepers. I guess it helps to pay attention.
Shooting info:
Nikon D800 | 500 f/4
1/2500 | f/4 | ISO 3200
Comments and critiques are appreciated.
