Gotta Stay Focused

In many things we do in life, we need to stay focused. In some cases, distractions make it difficult. In all cases, practice makes perfect, well almost perfect anyway. This is so true in photography. Getting a sharp picture of a bird in flight is not an easy task, more difficult with some cameras than others. My Nikon Z 6 is not near as easy for that as my D500, so I took the Z 6. Seagulls make excellent subjects for BIF photos. They are difficult to stay with as they swoop and swerve. I was pleased with this shot.

1/2500s f/13.0 at 300.0mm iso16

Couldn't have been more sharp!

That's a nice catch. Not typical to see seagulls with a fall foliage background.
Ruth Voorhis24-Nov-2020 23:07
Impressive clarity and sharpness, Vern!
Steve Thuman24-Nov-2020 21:47
Excellent. The large DOF of that f-stop sure helped. I’m scratching how you could get that high of a shutter speed at that ISO with that lens!
Edmund B. Ruttledge 24-Nov-2020 21:21
Well done. Be well.
