Amazing Start to my Norway Trip
I created this Red-throated Loon (Red-throated Diver here in Europe) image in Svalbard, Norway with the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II lens, the Canon EF 1.4X III TC (hand held at 280mm), and the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 400. Evaluative metering at zero: 1/800 sec. at f/4 in Manual mode.
Lens/TC/camera body Micro-adjustment: +1. (After I had this Mark IV repaired and adjusted the micro-adjustment dropped from +5 to +1 with the TC in place; it is important to micro-adjust once a month.)
This was the first bird that we photographed on our first day. What followed turned out to be probably the greatest day of photography in my 28 year career. The day included Ivory Gull, King Eider, Parasitic Jaeger, Svalbard Reindeer, dozens of tame Common Eiders nesting and courting, and lots more.
