For the past few years my flight photography skills have been deteriorating due to the ageing process and I was never very good anyway. Yesterday morning, that would be Friday, August 27, Denise Ippolito and I were at Nickerson. Though the pool has shrunken in size conditions were otherwise good with very little wind and very still water.
I made only a very few images with the 800 and was thrilled with this one. It was created with the 800mm f/5.6L IS lens and the EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +2/3 stop in somewhat diffused light: 1/1600 sec. at f/5.6 set manually.
Don't be shy; all comments welcome.
ps: if you have a minute check out today's blog post: "Juvie Sanderling: Capture, Clean-up and Cropping Lessons" here.
pps: almost forgot the lesson here: I love using the two sensors below the central sensor when photographing skimming skimmers.
