[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 829850, member: 50197"] Went to a new place for me this morning. Got up at 3:45 and drove an hour and a half to meet the club at a Wildlife Management Area south of here. A rather cold morning for southern SC with temps in the upper 20s. I need to get a pair of gloves, or a carbon fiber tripod. :oops: When we got there just before the sun came over the horizon, there were probably hundreds of birds in the lake. Lots and lots of tundra swans, and avocets, plus some ducks, including shovelers and mergansers. The ducks never got close enough for me to get any shots by the time there was enough light to shoot. I didn't get anything spectacular, but the autofocus and tracking on my Z7ii worked much, much better for BIF after making a few adjustments last week. We moved to the other side of the lake after the sun came up, and there was a large flock of avocets in the shallows. [ATTACH type="full"]416042[/ATTACH] These two were having a disagreement about something. [ATTACH type="full"]416043[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]416044[/ATTACH] Got lots and lots of these tundra swans in flight. None really stood out, but several were decent shots. Had lots of issues with the white feathers. I did underexpose them by 1 - 2 stops to keep the highlights from blowing out. [ATTACH type="full"]416045[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
