First time for everything!
So here goes, my first time post. I was on my way home from work the other day and decided to stop at a small pond to see if any ducks were sitting in the water. All I saw one lonely Hooded Merganser. I had hoped to get closer than the 60' to 70' that I was away but to do so would scare him. I placed my Canon 100-400 mm mark ii and my 1,4 TC on my Canon 7D ii. This photo was shot about 75' feet away handheld. He saw me and was heading to the reeds fast. 1/640, f/11, 560 mm, ISO 800. I had one shot previous to this however, I could not figure out how to download multiple images. Photographing Birds has become a passion for me. I started Photography 1 1/2 years ago at the ripe young age of 70. I read everything I can including most of Arthur Morris's books. All Critiques welcome. This image was cropped and some color adjustments in Lightroom.
