Re: Blacktop's "Top To Bottom" everyday except weekdays (sometimes weekdays) for 2017

I had to work Saturday and so Sunday I was too tired and lazy to go out and do some shooting. Max was looking all sad that he would have to wait a whole week to go shooting again, so I caved.
We just drove around Downtown and took a few shots. Nothing happens around here on a Sunday afternoon, so the streets were empty.
Managed to take a few shots, and since I was bored and not really into it, I bracketed all my street shots.

When I came home, I looked at them and did not find anything interesting, so I was just going to scrap the whole thing. I didn't, and this evening I decided to to make a few HDR's out of all those shots.
Here is a few that I actually kind of like.

All I have today are some common birds. Ducks,pigeons and a few gulls. Gotta take what you can sometimes.

First a black and white BIF shot.

A pigeon and a duck. Both very colorful birds. Hey! Ducks and pigeons just don't get enough credit in the world of bird photography IMO.

I'm posting all the Meet And Greet shots from the Circle B Bar at the other thread. I will post some shots here from the rest of my Florida trip.

A Hawk at Lettuce Lake Florida. Overcast and drizzle all day. The Nikon 200-500mm lens is amazing. This shot was handheld at 500mm with a 1/250th SS. The VR on this lens is phenomenal IMO.

Nice shot Pete, looks like plenty of sharp detail on the bird.

So do you think it performs as good on the D7200 as it does on the D750 ?

I believe the shots I took with the D7200 are a little sharper than with the D750. Probably due to the fact that the D7200 does not have an OLPF.

However, the D750 out performs this camera in every other way. (focusing, ISO and even the burst rate seems a bit faster on the D750.)

I think that this cam is a little improvement on the D7100. The focusing seems a touch faster (not by much) and the high ISO shots clean up a little nicer. (also not by much IMO)

This is just going by the 900 shots that I took over 3 days.

A few Ibis in flight. These are from Lake Parker, in Lakeland FL. These were taken after the M&G.
