Wings up Northern Harrier....bad news, good news.
Full frame. Bad news...just a bird in the sky.....good news....I managed to get focus lock because of only a bird in the sky. I'm shooting from the window of my vehicle where maneuverability is limited.
I've had a couple of other close flybys below the horizon and at that close of a range I haven't been able to get the bird centered enough for my D500 to release focus lock on the background until the
bird is well past me. I have repositioned the bird as I clipped parts of the top 3 feathers. I fortunately had another frame that I could use to reconstruct the tips. The Z9 can't get here fast enough. I'm
going to be pi....disappointed if I don't get one on the first offering. Not sure if I have the white balance correct. DxO applied(still evaluating) and Denoise standard noise set to 0, sharpening 5
