Blue-footed Booby raised foot dance display
This image was created on the morning of August 6, 2019, on the Galapagos Photo-Cruise of a Lifetime IPT. I used the hand held Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens and my souped-up Nikon D850 ISO: 500. Matrix metering at about +2/3 stop as framed: 1/500 sec. at f/5.6 in Manual mode was a slight underexposure. AUTO1 WB at seven-thirty am on a solidly overcast morning.
Three above center Single Point Continous AF was active at the moment of exposure. The selected AF point was placed on the bird’s neck, right on the same plane as its eye.
Nikon Focus Peaking fine-tune value: +4. See the Nikon AF Fine-tune e-Guide here.
As for the image, don't be shy; all comments are appreciated.
