met at the East Pond at JBWR last Sunday morning as I was in NYC briefly for my sister's kid's wedding. (It was good that Bob was there as all of my flash cards were in the motel 60 miles away...) It was gloomy at first, then it started to rain, and then by the time that we got to the Raunt, it was pouring. We covered up our rigs, snuggled back into the phragmites a bit and chatted about life and digital storage issues with external hard drives... Bob is quite knowledgeable about computers. We gave up after an hour, then headed back. Not wanting my NY trip to be for naught, I took the plastic bag and the wool hats off of my lens, camera, and flash, and walked up on a few birds. This juvie Pectoral Sandpiper was feeding actively so I squeaked him and he posed for an instant. (Bob always teases me about my squeaking but it worked perfectly here.)
The 1Ds is amazing as there is little grain evident at ISO 1250 (at least to my eye...) Canon EF 500mm F/4 L IS lens, EOS 1Ds, & 2X II TC. ISO 1250, Evalutaive Metering -1/3 stop: 1/200 sec. at f/10. AI servo. Fill flash at -2/3 with (a very wet) Better Beamer. All comments welcome. Best and great picture-making to all, Artie Arthur Morris/BIRDS AS ART
