I pulled up to a friends pond early yesterday morning to hopefully get my first picture of a Wood Duck. I had preset the settings on my Canon 7D ii with a Tamron 150-600mm 2 lens. I saw 1 duck and shot him through an open window of my car before he flew away. My settings were f/6.3, 1/1250, ISO 16000, spot focus. The picture is SOOC. Please suggest better settings that would have improved the picture. Thanks so much.
It was 16000.

You may have been rubbing way too hard. A gentle wipe shouldn't scratch anything. Unless the coating on your lens was defective.
You are absolutely correct. Light rubbing may not do any damage. I was rubbing hard and rubbing even harder when the lens got worse until it was completely and clearly ruined. Even hard rubbing with a microfiber cloth has done no damage. The Walmart optician gave me the microfiber cloth and the cleaning solution, but they do have the Zeiss solution soaked paper ones if you want to purchase them.

Beautiful shot. But why use image stacking? Aren't they all at infinity?

If I remember correctly, my ship went to Oslo, Norway, a city in Denmark which I can't recall, Varenmunda (for a train ride to Berlin), Tallinn, Estonia, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Finland, Stockholm, Sweden, and terminated in Copenhagen, Denmark in that order. We spent a couple extra days in Copenhagen.

Huh. It would have been quite a coincidence if we had been on the same ship. I suspect we might have been in port at the same time.
Yes, it would have been even though you were on a different cruise line.

You probably didn’t brush or blow off any grit that was on the lens before you used the wipe. A microfiber cloth might be ok to use if its the first use of the cloth. Otherwise it may be contaminated with damaging particles from past uses. The lens cleaning wipes are one time use only. As to the paper, paper lens wipes and lens cleaning solutions have been used as long as I can remember. The Zeiss wipes have it all in the little hermetically sealed packet.

I completely destroyed a lens with the paper wipes but have never done any damage to my eyeglasses lens with the microfiber cloth. I admit that I was pressing rather hard with the paper wipes. Microfiber cloth fibers are softer than paper fibers.

Use a microfiber cloth with a cleaner to do the cleaning. I think I ruined (scratched) a lens of my glasses with those Walmart Zeiss lens wipes. They are made out of paper.

This problem was addressed about a week ago. I encountered the same problem. Windows indicated to me that they may not do anything about it. My solution was to obtain a cable from Best Buy that would allow me transfer the pictures using Canon's DPP program for my Canon 7D ii.

Yes, my cruise was also in August 2008. It was a 10 day Holland cruise that left from Harwich but ended in Copenhagen.

Beautiful pictures. I also toured the Cathedral as well as the Hermitage on a Baltic Sea Cruise somewhere about the same time you did.

Let us know if all this finally worked.
Yes, this now works, thanks to all but especially to you and to bleirer. As I indicated, I had to get a cable with a mini B connector from Best Buy. I had tried to connect with a cable that I had, that had apparently come with my old Rebel XSi camera and thought that it was connected. So I had never actually connected to the 7D ii before, I had always taken the SD card out of the camera and inserted it into the computer slot to transfer pictures. I will now have to use the cable if I want the date folders to be automatically set up.
