We were In the boat again this past Thursday. Caught this cormorant sunning on the old collapsed railroad turntable bridge at -Wildwood back Bay Area. Late afternoon glare put the cormorant and bridge steel in silhouette. Shot with my Z8 and 400 f/4.5 wide open at about 1/1250 shutter speed. Made for an interesting look.

Interestingly, I was at a major CFB this weekend and the sidelines were split nearly 50/50 between Canon/Nikon including a couple of 400 f/4.5's. What a change from even a couple of years ago.

My daughter plays WNY Flash this weekend and I'll be back up in the Buffalo area again. We were just in Batavia for my son's games this past weekend.

That's great and very well-processed. It's easy to sharpen bears to the point of crunchiness, but this looks just right. Love the colors.

I'm really glad I chose this lens over the 180-600. I've never enjoyed shooting with a variable aperture zoom.
