With the windchill factor it was about -10 deg C by the lake this morning , and the wind kept buffeting the long lens used (800L) which made hand-holding rather unstable despite IS.
In particular, BIF shooting became quite difficult because of thus caused lack of steadiness on top of intrinsic 800L AF limitations. Took the hood off, but even that was not enough to mitigate the sail effect upon the lens.
However, the light was good. Can\'t have it all.
Here is a Bufflehead drake with nicely ignited head feathers irridescence, shot with 1DsMkII + 800L.
