Very nice Thomas.  Perfect exposure to keep the detail in that white without washing out.

Fascinating to see just how clean those white feathers are.
Regards,
Bill Oliver

Three gangsters in the rain.  D750, Nikkor-Q C 200mm/f4.0@f5.6.  Cropped to about 1/2 of the original frame.

That 200mm Q-C is serving you well.

Fred, thanks for the comment.  Apparently it's not easy to outguess their conspiracy...  The 200mm Q C continues to amaze me either on DX, m4/3 or FX.

One from the weekend

The Red billed tropic bird was very exited to have people walking near his nesting place and was flying all over the place,

I'm amaze what AF-C D51 can accomplish even with the lowly 70-300 VR zoom, I shot a series of images and all were in focus on the bird, granted I had lots of sunshine.

Getting a decent composition was just a matter of keeping the zoom slightly wider, on this one I had the zoom at 250mm, and this is a crop of a horizontal image

Wow, Armando, this is so beautiful!  I appreciate your reflex nerve more than the AF-C.

Geez kids - how must one compete with these great images (not that it's a competition but you know what I mean)
