This Macaroni Penguin preening its mate was photographed at Hercules Bay, South Georgia, with the tripod-mounted Canon 300mm f/2.8 L IS II lens, the 2X III teleconverter,and the EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 400. Evaluative metering -2/3 stop: 1/200 sec. at f/10 in Manual mode. (Minor clean-up work.)
Most of the birds on my Southern Oceans trip were so tame that I rarely if ever felt limited with my longest effective telephoto length of "only" 780mm (300mm X 2 X 1.3). An upper left-hand sensor was chosen manully: AI Servo Rear Focus active at the moment of exposure. Click here if you missed the Rear Focus Tutorial.
