That is some silky smooth bokeh.

 

Wasn't aiming for it - the sun was on the wrong-side and I was standing at a bit of an angle -

I was at f6.3 1/500 ISO400

 

SW FL, Thanksgiving 2023:
Here are a couple Green Iguanas that came to visit our campsite.

 

Excellent images - ? EXIF ?... Lens?

 

Thanks for the compliment !

My stuff is a little older,
I shoot a Canon 7D MKII coupled with an Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5 - 5.6L IS lens.
I usually plant the knob in AV mode and start around ISO800 & f/5.6.
Shutter speed was probably around 800 as well.

Good hardware and good processing. I remember back in the film-days when ISO400+ was blasphemy resulting in ugly
pixilated images, today we can shoot at 1600+ and produce stellar images. I often push my ISO up so I can up the shutter
speed and freeze-frame BIF images. I don't know about you but if I the situation was what I want it to be I'd be on-the-road
300 days a year going place to place shooting all day.

 

I take a few pics on occasions

12-12-23

Local foot hills

Off road camping.....No KOA's please

 

You real photographers prob laugh

IPhone 12......

 

Yep.......

'Nother rock

 

Nice shots - those newer Iphones take a darn good image.

 

Nice setup - I have that Dometic too - works like a champ..!!
I setup a platform in the back of the access cab, run it off 12v to the battery under the cubby, and when the
truck ain't driving the Jackery 1000 Pro takes over.

 

This Kestral was sittin on a light post in a park, spying critters to eat, saw it fly away twice and come back to perch and search.
Was surprised it let me get pretty close to it.

Love these little raptors.

 

If I were a Falconer, this is the bird I would like to keep.

 

They are quite finicky due to their weight. You have to be very precise with management to keep them at a proper flying weight, not easy with a bird that only weighs 120 grams.

 

Yes, I've heard it said before.

You'll LOVE this video if you are into hawking !

I always wanted one but opted for redtails as my first few birds. Easier to manage and arguably more successful hunting experiences.

 

Wow - like - crazy wow I love it.
