once a year, I like traveling down to see the passing thru Snow Geese. I am not bird photographer, but
do appreciate the skill of folks make this their special.
they were not too close, and I was using the 80-400 and also the 300 2.8 macro. both useful for this
type of shot. I ended up finding the manual focus on the 300 better than on auto. light is so key
for these type of photos, and most of the time, had dull cloudy light, but I waited and waited
and then the sun started to go down, and a group flew off the distance, and for a split second,
crossed a gap in the otherwise cloudy sky,,, providing some color
Here is the photo.
its cropped quite a bit, since they were quite far away. This is where one is glad to have pixel density of the
D800, that allows you that type of option.
