Thank you Levina !

A couple more bird images:
The flamingo is obviously well-known, but I must admit I was lucky to get the complementary colour of the flower by the subject!

For anyone interested in how the electronic and mechanical curtains actually move in time on the R6, one person on DPReview, after reading a suggestion of mine, created a high-speed strobe mode for a programmable color LED and found some very interesting things, like the physical curtains can actually change speed down the frame, and different shutter modes roll in different directions, etc. It is possible that the website might stay readable after it is frozen regarding new input, but if you are interested you might want to read it soon, just in case it becomes difficult to find later:

I should have one of these LED devices myself, soon, and I can test the R5 and R7, and some of the weird old cameras I have with unique shutter modes, like leaf shutters.

Lovely shot Pierre. It looks so cuddly...

Thank you very much Levina.

It's a beautiful animal. I wouldn't try to approach them tough. Unfortunately, they are often killed illegally where I live. This one lives in a little alpine zoo near my place. He's pretty shy but last week we were alone for a moment and he was looking for food. We had a great time with him.

LOL, no, I should have emphasized "looks" as he is no house kitty!

And the cruelty of homo sapiens is sad to say the least.

It had been many (cough cough, 40, cough cough) years since I'd been to Arlington Nat'l Cemetery, so this being one of the stops on our daughter's middle school trip was special. I was probably one of a handful of people with an SLR type camera amongst a sea of cell phones. I was a bit out of practice having barely picked up the camera in the last 6 months, so there were some user error missed shots. I shot the entire time at Arlington with the RF 70-200 f/4, and it did not disappoint.

Our tour guide was incredible! She got the kids situated in a great spot with the teacher's & chaperones, and with a "follow me!", then hustled me over to the other end where she staked out a claim where I could have a prime photography spot for the changing of the guard.
