That is a great shot with the bird just flying into the light.
Good luck with the boat, looking forward to pics.
Btw, very clever way to get a boat. Lol! "I had to dear, it's the only way we can get close"
Thanks for looking Bassman. On this particular stretch of water early in the morning there is either really good light with the sun just coming over the trees or deep shade under the trees. Selecting the correct exposure for the body is proving to be my downfall. I choose the widest aperture to minimize the background, and try to use 1/1000 to 1/2000 because they really can come in quite fast. The 5ds r is not happy with iso above 800 and I'm blowing out the bodies on these osprey. trying to find the balance is hard. Practice, practice ( and in this case give the other camera body a chance ) It may narrow down what I am doing wrong. It was easy to get a boat and motor for my 50th wedding anniversary, I simply talked about really needing a 600mm II lens to solve my distance problem. My husband thought he was coming out ahead by surprising me with the boat and motor.
