Pelican fly-bys from the deck of our time share in Hilton Head.
I am trying to master the art of quick hand-held shots with a 400mm setting. Even with a good auto-focus, putting the little square on the right bird is challenging.

Very nice! They are such graceful fliers!
Thanks! It is amazing that such ungainly walkers are so beautiful in flight.

Nice job, Mike. I like pelicans because they fly slow enough for me to focus. They don't spook easily, either.

The new firmware upgrade helps me stay on a focal point.
