One of the common birds we see on our ponds and lakes, a Pied-billed Grebe. I like this one because of the early morning (about 15' after sunrise) light reflection on the water. This bird is in breeding colors (shot was taken in April of this year). Shot with an R7, 100-500 mm lens at 363 mm, ISO 3200, SS 1/500, f/7.1. Camera was held at water level, eye tracking AF was used and remote shutter release was used. Shot at Whelan Lake Reserve.
Processed with PS, with bird brought up slightly and BG brought down slightly. Small pieces of unsightly debris were cloned out behind bird.

Lovely
You used a remote shutter and eye tracking?
That is good to hear. I have to use a remote shutter release and I could find out IF the eye tracking could be used if my right hand cannot touch the camera body, which it can't.

Program your shutter button on the camera so that the AF mode is eye tracking and is activated by shutter button push (not back button focus) and then, yes, the remote (wired or wireless) will trigger that mode when 1/2 pushed.
