This image was created at Morro Bay on Tuesday March 17, 2015 at 7:01pm with the hand held Canon EF 100-400mm f\/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens<\/a> (at 248 mm) and the amazing Canon EOS 7D Mark II<\/a>. ISO 800 (should have been ISO 400). Evaluative metering -2 1\/3 stops: 1\/2500 sec. at f\/22. Color temperature: 9000K.<\/p>\n

Zone\/AI Servo\/Shutter Button AF as framed was active at the moment of exposure (as is always best when hand holding). It selected two AF points along the right center edge of the rock. Click on the image to see a larger version. <\/p>\n
