My copies, of the pf500 is sharper than the 70-200 fl, or maybe Iam having to crop more with the 70-200 fl or I have to fine tune the 70-200 fl with the d500
If you have not, you should try using the highlight-weighed meter on white birds. It looks at the whole scene and it exposes to not clip highlights. Unless the scene is dark or the subject is backlit (times to never use HW meter) I always shoot in HW meter and might adjust the EC from a -.7 to +.7 occasionally.
From today morning. I am really enjoying bird photography and entire process of it. But I am really struggling on processing and getting a consistent look:-(
Not much happening with Eagles at the Conowingo Dam in Maryland yesterday. I guess still to warm and no need for migration yet. Only the resident Eagles are there.
This was at about 125 yards out and close to 100% crop so this didn't turn out to bad actually. You can tell the Male/Female size difference well here. Larger one on the left is the female.

have to love when someone knows how to get the job done! without the need for "eye focus" or "nostril hair" focus or "ear wax" focus while depending on 20-50 fps
