The Streak Continues: 351<\/h3>\n

On Saturday, I photographed at the refuge morning and afternoon. Not too bad. I got lots of rest during the day. Tomorrow we start work on a seven segment “Bird Photography” video project that is being created by the Canon Digital Learning Center. At some point you will all get to see them, and hopefully learn a ton. This blog post, the 351st in a row, took about 2 hours to prepare. It was published from my hotel room in Socorro, NM at 3:31am. <\/p>\n

Alas….<\/h3>\n

I learned from Chuck Westfall that the ET-83D lens hood, the hood for the new Canon EF 100-400mm f\/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens<\/a> does not<\/em> <\/strong>fit the old lens and vice versa. It was announced only as a replacement. <\/p>\n

This image was created at 7:51:23am on the clear morning of November 15, 2014 at Bosque del Apache NWR, San Antonio, NM. I used the Gitzo 3532 LS carbon fiber tripod<\/a>), the Mongoose M3.6 head<\/a>, the Canon EF 600mm f\/4L IS II USM lens<\/a>, the Canon Extender EF 1.4X III<\/a>, and the Canon EOS 7D Mark II <\/a>. ISO 400: 1\/1600 sec. at f\/8 in Manual mode. <\/p>\n

Central sensor AI Servo Surround\/shutter button AF just caught the bird’s face and was active at the moment of exposure. Click here<\/a> to see the latest version of the Rear Focus Tutorial. Click on the image to see a larger version. <\/p>\n
