[QUOTE="hark, post: 739817, member: 13196"] All I can say is I really missed this opportunity. :mad: Knowing wildlife is hard to find during our heatwave, I went in search of geese armed with a different 1.7x Nikon TC. Geese happen to be the only wildlife I see when it is so darned hot. So I saw a bird flying overhead with a white head. Initially I thought it was a seagull. :shame: Bad judgement call on my part for sure. ;) Bird changed direction. Darned. It was a Bald Eagle. Sheesh. Grabbed my camera from the seat beside me which was set with 1/1000" shutter speed and Sport VR, then started shooting. :beguiled: Then suddenly I realized my shutter speed was too slow. What follows is a sequence of jpegs since I shoot NEF and jpeg Large - only resized the jpegs for the forum. No need to edit the NEF's because I missed everything. Being honest here....:( What a PITA to work thru the possible options of what's wrong. :crushed: [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]342526._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]342527._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]342528._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]342529._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]342530._xfImport[/ATTACH] Changed my shutter speed as soon as I realized it was too slow - set to 1/2000" to reflect a flying bird.
