considering upgrading from DSLR to Mirrorless

Thanks do much everybody for commenting. I really appreciate it. I just went to the store and got the mirrorless Z50 and an adaptor. Can't wait to try it.

That is what I did, and it works great. I have no problems, except that some of my old macro lenses do not autofocus. But they are macro, so no big thing.

Love terns! Nice shooting.

So do I. I was told that they are leaving this area and going south, but there still are a few. here. Not as many as before, but they are still here.
I have even seen a couple in the spring. Not many, but a couple. So I think that there may be a few that stay here year-round.

Wow. How did you get so many birds to stay in focus?

I used a fast SS and a small aperture. And I was lucky.
Most times when I see this, I miss a lot, this time I was lucky. And I mean most times I miss it.

I LOVE this shot, topcat! Fantastic photo!!
It looks like chaos at first, but in DDL it's not. All headed in the same direction!

Thank you, chief. They usually are all headed in the same direction. Here they were getting ready to land. But it is amazing how they do this.

OMG!!! That is an excellent photograph designed to be hanging on your wall or submitted to a magazine for inclusion in an article perhaps. I do not like crossword puzzles but I feel as if I am looking at a good one in your photo.

Thank you, Dennis. I appreciate that

Great capture Topcat. I don't know how they avoid hurting each other

Thank you. I don't know myself. It almost seems impossible.

I think that they are sandpipers, but they are here.
They spent a lot of time just sitting there and milking about.
For one moment, they all took off. But just as quickly, that came back.
Who knows what is in their heart?
