Brown Pelican. Head on shots are easier with big slow birds!

Fantastic shot!

This shot is a beaut EB! Makes me think of a big ol' B-17 setting up for a landing.

Thanks all for the comments on the Brown Pelican shot. When they head straight for me I just have to give it a go!

"Switching Tracked Subjects=1, Case A"??

The tracking adjustment is greyed out in mode A for me?

Tracking Sensitivity is greyed out in Case A (AF Menu 2).

Switching Tracked Subjects is still available in AF Menu 1.

There's too many options on this camera!

These are both fabulous shots. Perfect angle, great exposure, you really captured the drama. Very nice.

I had to wait quite a while in the cold for this Snowy to take off and start hunting but it was well worth the wait and cold hands.

I really like these Pintail shots, great angle and look of concentration, nice complimentary background colors too.

Thank you.
