All: D300 + 80-400 VR @ 400mm, ISO 400, 1/1200, f8, fill flash (SB901 + Better Beamer)

This was two weeks ago at Nickerson Beach. I've never seen them there before, I'm wondering what it must look like at peek.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Telephoto flattening makes that splash look much closer than it was. The monarch was a good 20 feet further out.
Thank you Ron

Thank you Roberta,

All I did was put the center focus point on it and then recompose and let 51 point tracking do it's job

Thank you Tam,

Much easier to track out there than when they fill the frame

Ah, today was more like what you were expecting. Not incredible yet enough to keep me shooting continuously for an hour.

Thank you,
