[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 754857, member: 13556"] Change two! I'm still on my adventure. My guide and I talked early this morning and he let me know we're on for Thursday, which works for me. I just have to remove a couple of items from my itinerary and add a couple of replacements. It does mean that I won't be driving into Orlando tonight or tomorrow, which is a plus to me. So today I spent the morning in Ocala at Tuscawilla park, which was recommended due to its Wood Duck population. I planned to visit there previously, and was going to depart for home afterwards, but that is OBE (Overcome By Events.) When I got onto the road I called my wife, hands free, of course, and she got me two more nights in a hotel. After reviewing my shots from yesterday and today, I can only conclude that it's a good thing that I didn't go out on the guided excursion today. Man-oh-man, are my skills rusty! So much so that they can't be termed skills. Somewhere I forgot how to hold a camera steady and also got the bad habit of moving the Command Dial without need. Detrimentally, even! I also thought that I was set up for shooting my D500 with the 300mm lens, but ended up with a shutter speed of 1/250 of a second, when I needed to be shooting at 1/500 or even faster. Since this is supposed to be a photo forum, I'll actually post a couple now. The first is from yesterday at The Circle-B-Bar Reserve. It is actually uncropped. [ATTACH=CONFIG]353505._xfImport[/ATTACH] The second is from today at Tuscawilla Park in Ocala. This Hooded Merganser pair dove and came up with acorns, and ate them after washing them thoroughly.
