I've shot the Piping Plovers for about 2 months. Here are images from the last to days of the adults and chicks. These birds have not nested in Ohio for the last 83 years so this is something of a rare event. The last 2 days I was shooting I used my Sigma 800mmF:5.6 AF and my D600. Turns out the lens really works well with sensors in the 20.8 to 24.3 MP size range.
I used a Nikon D810 with 24~120 F:3.5-5.6. Shutter time varied between 3sec to 12 Sec and aperture started at F:11 and ended at F:22.
Do you have flash bracketing enabled?
I used my Sigma 800mm F:5.6 AF since 2002 when it was new at $5900.00.I've won a photo contest in 2012. I use it mostly with my D3, D600 or the D810.
Here are 2 shots I did using a Z6 and a 200-500mmF:5.6 G VR. My shutter was 1/1250, aperture was 5.6 and compensation was +2.33. If the eagle was sitting on a branch and takes off the the shutter setting goes up to around 1/2000 to 1/3200. I'm shooting manual with autoiso.
For really high banks the 6th photo of #44 Pancho Carter is at Winchester.
Here some USAC sprint and dirt car from the 70's when I was chasing them.
How many times do you have to told to turn the shutter speed well in the OPPOSITE direction to change the shutter speed? You have it set at its lowest point right now
You've set to a manual flash sync. Just turn the shutter speed dial in the opposite direction.
The only reason the corvid v***s is increasing hospital admissions is the dumb and stupid people that are refusing to be v******ted in the southern US. I will not feel sory for you when you are admitted to the hospital with the v***s.
This is a idiot. of course they were paid. They worked for NASA.
Here are a few shots from my archives
First is a 10 shot stack of an Iris, Second is Karner Blue butterfly with an assassination bug, Third is a Swallowtail female, Fourth is a Ord spider with a grasshopper and last is a bee covered in nectar
I went out to Magee Marsh beginning in February and on a daily basis in April. With the boardwalk locked up tight I had shoot the eagle nest and the forest edge. I set up hour annual grape jelly feeder log. I'm lucky to get what warblers I did with the restrictions that were in place. I got the Parula and Magnolia out on the "goose trail", The Blackburnian, Nashville and Chestnut in the front area by the big cottonwood tree.
Because the boardwalk is closed. Its has only been open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Its closed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Its been available only for permit holders. Yesterday when I got the Golden-wing, it was the only bird I saw all day in the boardwalk area. I got on the boardwalk through someone's cancelation. I walked the whole boardwalk and saw nothing worth photographing. Yesterday I sat by the foxes for 3 hours and nothing showed. I stopped by where I got the Blackburnian's the day before but yesterday nothing. This has been a really bad year at Magee. In fact its probably the worst yet. This morning weather news showed more northwest wind going down into southern states.
I found this Golden-winged warbler today. Since there were other folks shooting available light I choose to not turn on my strobe and maybe startle the bird. That turned out to be a mistake since the bird has a black eye hidden in a black field. I finally turned the strobe on and using exposure compensation at +2.0 for a couple of shots.
