The Streak Continues: 330<\/h3>\n

Yesterday I took it pretty easy and fell off the wagon in the afternoon with more than a few M&Ms Peanuts borrowed from Jim…. I made lots of IPT motel reservations and purchased my San Diego and Galapagos flights as well. I did make time for my morning meditation, an easy 3\/4 mile swim followed by ten minutes of forced laughter, and an ice bath. This blog post, the 330th in a row, took me about 2 1\/2 hours to prepare. It was published just before 7:30am from my home at Indian Lake Estates, FL. <\/p>\n

This image was created at 7:47am on the cloudy morning of October 24, 2014 at Indian Lake Estates where the cranes are plentiful and tame. Working from my Sequoia, I used the BLUBB<\/a>-supported Canon EF 600mm f\/4L IS II USM lens<\/a> and a beta version of the Canon EOS 7D Mark II <\/a>. ISO 3200. Evaluative metering +1 stop as framed: 1\/1250 sec. at f\/4 in Av mode. AWB. <\/p>\n

Central Zone\/AI Servo\/Rear Focus AF activated two sensors in the upper left corner of the array that fell on the bird’s shoulder and was active at the moment of exposure.
