Birdies from today (D2X and 200-400 shots)

My last day of work was today before starting my vacation, so on the way home I stopped by the local pond and my Buddie the GWE was hanging out along with a few other birdies. Here are the pictures it was very harsh light and while shooting the geese and ducks had to shoot right into the sun. But a photog got to do what a photogs got to do :lol:

Thanks so far so good

 

Thnaks yea the bird was out in bright sunlight ant eh backgroudn was dark so I had to dail in like-2.3EV whcih sent the background dark, but also lowered the shutter speed quite a bit

 

Getting there Frank long way to go I never shot with such a big lens
I am heading to our beach house on Fenwick Island for the week hope to sneak away for some birdie shots
Merritt III is going to be tough for me bad week to travel very expensive and crowded plus I have a week off in Oct to go to Skyline drive to watch the fall foliage and a few days in Sept for a golf trip. So doesn't look like I can make Thanksgiving week. I sure would like to though

 

Thnak Scott I appreciate it

 

Re: Pretty nice,Mike!

Thanks gets scary dialing in that much EV you almost think you are doing something wrong, but the histogram and blinkies dont lie!
Yep will be checking in have DSL and a wireless network at our beach house
