This frame represents 48% of the original frame, so it was cropped 52%. I always get confused about how to word that so I decided to make it a bit redundant As I have mentioned I have been concentrating on shooting waterfowl before they leave my area for the season. I have already posted a flight shot of a female Bufflehead. I was thrilled to finally be able to get close to one on the water. I had the 500PF in my hands and was shooting flight shots while seated at the edge of the water. When I saw this female quite a ways out, rather than risking getting the 600 I just laid down and hoped that she would not mind me and come close. Guess it was the right move as she came close enough. I shot this wide open to get the best background that I could get and laid down as low as possible as well. My neck hurt afterwards but it was well worth the effort.
