EOS R6 RF 100-500 @500 f7.1 1/200 ISO 800 HH, Manual EXP, AF method is AED, FF
Walking along on first morning with new rig. It is early and skies were mildly overcast all morning. Spotted this beauty doing high wire balancing act on a sketchy perch (too thin). Now glossy Ibis are true to there name at just the right sun angle when clear. But in soft light like this, you can see all the colors but not the shiny. So, I ran up to get the soft light colors. As I got closer noticed BG would be a wetland field of blooming purple pickerel, big smile came to my face as rig was brought up to eye. Home on computer, got to this one and remembered that smile.
Thanks as always for all very valued help and learnings. Please keep it coming...
