Very nice. Where was this shot?
Since weight is an issue maybe you should wait for the Nikon Z’s to be released.
You didn’t mention the support system that you’re using. What tripod and head are using for that lens. Support is very important with Long telephoto lenses.
Fantastic shot. I am grateful that you shared it.
Great shot. How close were you?
Wow. Super shots. Thank you.
I started using BBF (actually front button focus since I am left eye dominant) about 3 months. I usually practice focusing when I get to a shoot just to remind myself of the focusing arrangement. Still get occasionally flummoxed when I press the shutter and the camera is out of focus. Just keep at it. Do use Continuous auto focus mode to get the best benefit
How close were you? How long a lens did you use?
Our breeder sent this to us after our first dog died.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
If you shoot RAW I recommend DxO photolab. About the same cost as a year of CC if you get it on sale. I much prefer u-point masking for local adjustments.
I’m left eye dominant so I use the front button on my D7200 activated with my middle finger for focus.
