Regretting take off

By Kaxxie
Hi everyone

This is one from Rivermead Island on Sunday. I gave my friend the bread to feed the ducks and the geese whilst I sat camera at the ready. I realised part way through that I’d forgotten my new lens could zoom in and out! I was so cross with myself. Where the gulls appeared from I’ll never know. They were nowhere to be seen until the food appeared. I took 220 images. Some of them are ok. I took your advise on board and adjusted the aperture and shutter speed for this. 😉 It’s better viewed large. Never thought I’d actually say that but you miss the water droplets otherwise. 😂😂😂


Thank you all for the votes and kind comments on the Spring Day in February image and to Colleen (ColleenA) and Rich (woodini254) for the precious UAs. Dave(Jasper87) thank you so much for the mod and your advice. The mod is a great improvement.

Take care

Karen

You are beginning to get the hang of the new lens, Karen. A lovely close-up of the gull, with a nice muted background.

Funny to read your description as I left a comment on an earlier image of yours about not using 300mm every time! Guess you missed it; I uploaded a mod.

The camera has a subject tracking capability using the auto-focus move AF-C you can try withe moving bird shots like this one.
