Morro Bay ROCKing....

[Arthur Morris]

This image was created at Morro Bay on the evening of March 14, 2015 with the hand held Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens (at 100mm) and the amazing Canon EOS 7D Mark II. ISO 800. Evaluative metering +1/3 stop: 1/100 sec. at f/5.6. Color Temperature: 9000K.

Six AF points below and one to the right of the center AF point/AI Servo Expand/Rear Focus AF as framed was active at the moment of exposure (as is always best when hand holding). I put the active AF point on the sand in front of the bird as it was easier for the AF system to hold focus. Click here to see the latest version of the Rear Focus Tutorial.

Morro Bay has been amazingly productive. Consider joining me this coming FRI thru SUN; click here for details: http://www.birdsasart-blog.com/2015/...e-versatility/

Another gorgeous one! Love the sunset tones, and the bird "pace" in the wet sand Arthur, nothing to critique IMHO.

A beautiful birdscape image! love the reflection on the sand forming the orange lines where the bird is walking. Nicely done.

I liked this when I saw it in your blog - still do!

The way the sun catches those ripples in the sand and the effect of the colour there is really awesome - sets it apart.

Great looking Sunset scene and I really like the silhouette of the Bird walking across the colorful Sand. Nice frame.
