Great shot! Thanks for sharing
Thanks - I appreciate your comments. The trick is patience to wait for right moment!
Great weather for zoo visiting and photography! Here are a few that I took yesterday - all with my Sony A6600 and Sony 70-350 lens. Please enjoy!
Instead of walking across Golden Gate bridge, rent bikes in San Francisco, ride across the bridge, continue on to Sausalito (all downhill from the bridge) and take the bikes on the ferry back to the Ferry Building.
As a former Brit (from Southampton!) who has lived in the US since 1970 (in Texas and California), and have also lived and worked for extended periods in France and Japan, I have to say that while every country is different from the other and that within countries there are major differences, it's hard to say that one is better than the other. They all have good points and not so good points, and the trick is to find the balance that suits oneself. Since I have spent more than half my life as an American, you can tell what suits me.
To each his own, including Photoshop!

I will be setting up the a6600 menu to mirror my special settings on the a9 for better tracking of birds in flight.
What settings do you use for tracking birds? I am experimenting with my Sony A7 III
Thanks!
Thanks - I tried to walk around, but then they got worse!
Thanks, I'll give it a try!
This beauty watched as I crept through the undergrowth to take his picture on our nature walk yesterday.
Good lighting and posture - but those darn twigs!
I use the Sony 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 with my A6000 when travelling. It's reasonably small and light and gives me the results I'm looking for.
I was trying to take a shot of beautiful fall coloring in my yard. But it was on a north facing wall where the sun doesn't shine at this time of year. Blah results! Then I remembered I have a gold reflector that could reflect the weak sunlight back on the leaves. Success (in my opinion!)
I use it on my Sonys with the MC11 adapter. Great there also!
