How to catch a fish when you don't have thumbs.
We FINALLY have been blessed with some sunny days. To take advantage of that I put my 1.4x teleconverter on my 100 -400L mk ii lens. While at the pond I realized there were cormorants flying overhead. HMMM, I then remembered that the herring were running in the river so I headed over to the other side of town to the dam and fish ladder, sure enough there were about a dozen birds fishing at the top of the dam. It was mid morning, the sun was at my back so I gave it a go. My big regret while capturing this sequence was that I had failed to set my ISO higher so my speed was too low, but it was such a kick to see this happen. PS I'm pretty sure that this fish is a trout and not a herring.
Used:
canon 7D2
100-400LMk2
1.4 teleconverter
f8
ISO 400

It's amazing how they turn the fish around without losing it. Nicely done and interesting series.

Yes it is. The bird actually dropped it twice but in the end the fish lost.
