Brown Pelican tandem diving in front of setting sun
This image was created on 14 November 2020 near the jetty at the south end of South Padre Island. I used the handheld handheld Sony FE 600mm f/4 GM OSS lens and the blazingly fast AF King, the Sony Alpha a9 II Mirrorless Digital Camera Body. ISO 250. Exposure determined by Zebras with Exposure Compensation on the rear dial: Multi-metering at +2 1/3 stops: 1/2000 sec. at f/4 in Shutter Priority mode. Auto set the ISO to 250. AWB at 6:28pm with some light clouds on the horizon.
Center Zone AF-C was active at the moment of exposure and performed perfectly. Click on the image to see a larger version.
To see how Topaz Gigapixel AI transformed an iffy large crop of an a9 ii file into a large stunning file, see the Tandem Brown Pelican Sunset Dive Image: Gigapixel AI to the Stunning Rescue. Do You Have a SONY Callus? blog post here.
As for the image, don't be shy; all comments are welcome and appreciated.
