    Default Wood Duck

    Here's a Wood Duck shot I took when I first got the 7D Mark II. While I enjoyed the feature set of that body, I ended up returning it because of persistent AF problems. No problems with the AF in this frame though!

    Canon 7D Mark II, 600 mm II, f/6.3, 1/3200, ISO 800, manual exposure, hand held

    Stunning. One of my favorite ducks, in a great flight position. Gorgeous BG, and perfect techs.

    Stunning image, can you elaborate on the AF issues? I've heard there's issues but not really looked at the threads about them on other forums if Im honest.

    Doug:

    Beautiful woodie, exposure well handled, vibrant colors, fine pose.

    I might consider 10% more space below as an option.

    Cheers

    Killer frame, Doug, and love those water droplets on the underbelly. Perfect pose and lovely BG. Agree on a sliver more on the bottom.
