Gesh D, these are fantastic. So what you're saying is that you'll be getting even more great shots with this new camera of yours? Doesn't seem fair.

Can't wait for more.

This is a great set Kirk. They are all nice and sharp and well exposed. Congrats on the LB too - they are difficult to see much less shoot ~ Ron

Thanks so much Ron. I'm absolutely thrilled with the D500, added benefit is that it raised the performance level of my old 500 f/4 D to a much higher keeper rate. Nikon really produced a winner.

Kirk,

Great set, that combo is nailing it! The D500 is delivering fantastic results. Makes me wish I wasn't a Canon guy !

Congratulations Kirk, in your very capable hands you make it shine ! Wonderful set . I knew you would love the autofocus , it is so amazing. Almost like it knows what you want it to focus on

Love all the shots, but the mallard speaks to me with the pose and background.

Birdie

Thanks so much Birdie, so glad you especially enjoyed the Mallard. Yes the AF is excellent. I used D-9 almost always on the D810 for BIF, on the D500 the Group Mode has quickly become my default for BIF as I find it more consistent.

Congrats on the new gear and the least bitty too Kirk. They all look great, looking forward to many more from you. 😊

Thanks a ton Herb... the Least Bitty was fortunate that I was looking in the right direction and got the camera on it before it was past me.

Great shots Kirk.

The D500 has made my culling take twice as long. With the 7D2 it was so easy to just go through and reject all the OOF crap. The D500 just gets so many in focus that I have to concentrate more on the subtleties of each shot to pick my keeper. I'm trying to fire less with the D500 as it is so consistent.

Thanks so much Geoff. I found out what you're talking about as I was going through the 1300+ images from this session... so many sharp images means really looking for the subtle differences that separate the excellent from the very good. I love this camera.

This is a marvelous set Kirk. The skimming photo is my top pick and there all great. I have a friend with a D500 and while I have tried it I don't dare attach it to my Sigma 150-600 Sport as I'm already experiencing super focus and tracking and the combination will not want to come out of my hands. Actually, I think I'm going to get one as a retirement gift next June.

Morris

Really appreciate the wonderful words Morris, thank you.

If you've tried it, then you already know how good it is, and so much fun to shoot BIF. I hope you do treat yourself to one as a retirement gift.
