Aw!! Very good picture! I watched a loon family like that on a lake about a year ago. Could never get close enough for pix.

Thanks Woodsman. This lake had 8 adults and three babies. It was a hoot.

Fantastic capture. I have not seen any young loons here in at least 15 years. So nice to see again

Thanks! Papa dropped the fish and made him swim and dive under. He got it.

Awe...looks like dad was trying to entice his little one with a tiny fish. The babies mouth being open suggests that feed me was his first priority. Sweet picture.

thanks Islandgal. It was work. Heavy lens, moving boat, throw a little wind in for fun and I got lucky.

Outstanding photo. We have loons on Ashley Lake in Montana. I haven't had the opportunity to get up close and personal like you were able to do.

Watched this little family for almost an hour. it took a lot of coaxing to get the baby into the water.

Thank WoodnMetal Guy. I think my efforts would have been better served to bump up the ISO and a longer exposure to compensate for the F stop. I should have tried on something still.
I used 24-70 / ISO320

F2.8 is a wide aperture. You want a small one. Like F16 or F22 to get the burst rays... -- Dave

Thanks. I am going to try and select store original.

F2.8. Wonder where the 8 went. I think a longer exposure could have been used. It was moving, but probably slow enough to move it to a full 2 seconds or so.

I believe small aperture is the key. So nighttime shots are likely going to need longer exposure, and so won't work very well on moving ships. But the loading dock lights should work well. What aperture did you use? I see you said "F.2", but maybe that's a typo? -- Dave

I have read and tried a couple starburst techniques. Making sure that F/22 is the setting and or making sure that the sun touches something. Both seem to work well. I had the opportunity to photograph a couple ships coming into the arbor in Two Harbors, MN this weekend. And of course had to try. Settings were ISO360/ f.2/ .5 of a second with tripod. How do I do it better?

Thanks Judy. I have to practice. We typically have pairs but they don't behave like they did today. Almost had two dive in my window. Now that would have been interesting.
