Another image take from the archive to complete this week's FF. Not worrying yet. If look closely you can see the water droplet on the tip of his beak.
@redy4et Yes. It's outrageously priced and really overkill....so of course I had to have it. I'm anxious to see how the autofocus on the eyes works on the animals.
@stray_shooter Can’t wait to see how you like it. I don’t have any Sony lenses-just Olympus and Canon so I’m not sure I could justify the expense. But it’s tempting...
That comment had to stand alone, so now I can add that I'd be so happy to go to a zoo again, and a small meet-up would just be the best! In all this time I've left the house once, but I'm exercising (in the pool) and am feeling fit(ter), so I'd love to give it a go! I'm also waiting to see how this holiday weekend went for people...
@Weezilou I feel horrible! Probably won't sleep tonight. :-( OK, let's not go see the gorillas. I'm hoping to get out myself tomorrow now that things are beginning to open up. Gonna see if I can capture the vintage plane flyover in Newport. Note to self - remember to charge batteries and insert card in camera.
Ken just heard about the flyover from a friend and was hoping to see them from the house...nothing so far... Perhaps you'll share some photos since I know you went well-prepared.
Only because I love you, of course. In all honesty I wasn't intending the battery and card remark as a dig at you. It was more a reflection of just having viewed a Tony Northrup tutorial where he recommended buying several cheap small capacity SD cards and stashing them in various strategic spots so that you can fall back on them when ultimately we find ourselves with no card in the slot - gotta admit to having done that myself on more than one occasion. I now have one hidden in my Blackrapid strap and one in the spare battery holder. I'm also trying train myself to return all camera settings back to "normal" after a session. Can't tell you how many times I've forgotten and left the shutter on 10 second delay or have the ISO cranked up to 51200 and tried to shoot that gem, only to be thwarted.
I did manage to get a few shots of the warplanes a bit ago, and of course I'll be posting the best shortly!

(You do see me as an easy target, don't you?)
