Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
Went to one of the estuaries here yesterday. Throughout the winter, all these estuaries have waterbirds (that is, the birds that decide to stay for the winter). They can be seen with naked eyes or binocs except in the very coldest conditions. I can only guess that on those days they stay in tight coves, out of the wind.
This D850 is set on AF-Auto, rear button focus (AF-ON). In this situation it usually has trouble acquiring focus *quickly*, but it always acquires ..... after a second or two.
I've learned to tell when a loon is thinking about taking off. But not so with a Long-tailed duck. lol. I met a buddy here yesterday. He knows much more about birds than I do. We were standing together watching over the water and chatting. After this LTD went up I asked him if he knew it was about to take off. He did not.
