Nice shots. Are these with the 400 5.6 or your 300 F4. Regardless I don't see the dreaded PF. os exposure and lighting are well controllled.
As for the egret, they have become incresingly more common in the last few years. I have seen them regularly in toronto, and also a little more north, where I never saw them before. Ultil the last few years I only saw them in florida on vacation.
Thanks Lowell
I'm not really happy with any of these images as I was just too far away. What's the old maxim "get a big lens and get close?" Well I got the big lens but struck out on part two. I any case it was a thrill to see such a bird in the area.
This was the M 400/5.6 Lowell. Don't really get PF issues with it unless the birds are surrounded by branches. Unfortunately, they usually are.
As for the Egrets coming further north perhaps it is a result of global warming. I'm going to see if I can find this guy again later today.
Cheers
