Pelicans diving for fish in Playa del Rey. Fun shoot but need to go back in the morning when the birds aren't backlit against the ocean.
Some hefty cropping and shadow recovery on all of these.

Set up a blind where I have been seeing this small black bear in our meadow. Showed up about 45 minutes before sunset. Probably a two year old, and about 100 lbs. Z9, 100-400mm at 400, 1/200s handheld, f5.6, ISO 2200. I had been shooting some birds earlier and using the DX mode, and forgot to switch back to FX, so effectively 600mm, no post cropping.

Nice shot... great eye-contact. Hidden in a blind or not, it looks like you've been smelled...

For sure! He/she was just approaching on the shot and was wary, but did settle down for another minute or so, then some deer showed up and just watched him for a minute before he just ambled off. Fun to watch. I think the deer were so relieved the bear left, they hung out for a while. Here is one of the deer that showed up. Somewhat rare "Piebald" doe. They are still shedding out from the Winter.

Nice images.....you will no doubt make a selection of people question the need for a macro lens with these!

I’ve been enjoying a newly acquired Z 105 macro, but the 100-400mm may be my favorite lens for dreamy creamy flower closeups.

That's a real pretty image and I agree the 100-400 is really good for this type of photography! I also used it with a TC1.4X so I could get closer!

Thanks George! I will try it with the 1.4x next time, loved the flower shots you posted.
I am shocked how sharp this lens is for close-up work, and the stabilization combined with the Z9 Ibis is just unreal, better than when using the Z 105 macro.
