Did some walking around a local Wildlife Refuge yesterday. All in all it was a rather uneventful day with nothing of interest to shoot. But I did manage to come away with one photo that I'm happy with. A single gosling was wondering around a few feet from her parents. With the sun setting in the background, the lighting really sets off fuzz. Lol.
I had to be at a higher ISO then I would have liked, but with no sort of image stabilization I have to keep by stutter speeds up higher to negate the camera shake from hand holding at the time. I wanted to get lower then my monopod would allow.

Any CC, is as always, more then welcome.

Gear/Settings:
Canon EOS 1Dx
Canon 400mm f/2.8L II
Canon 2x teleconverter
Focal Length: 800mm
Shutter Speed: 1/1600 s
Aperture: f/5.6

Thanks for taking a look,
Matt
