Stuff<\/h3>\n

Honest. I would have gotten up early and went out photographing on Tuesday but for the crappy weather forecast (that for a change happened to be quite accurate). <\/p>\n

Tuesday morning involved more relaxing while creating this blog post and watching Golden State win a tough game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Then my core exercises. <\/p>\n

This blog post, the 104th in a row, took about 2 1\/2 hours to prepare. It was published at about 3:40am on Wednesday. I got up at oh-dark-hundred to make my 6:40am flight from ISP to MCO. If everything goes as expected Jim will be picking me up at about 9:45am on Wednesday morning. <\/p>\n

This image was created down by the lake at ILE on the morning of April 16, 2015 from my SUV with the BLUBB<\/a>-supported 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. Evaluative metering +1\/3 stop as framed: 1\/1250 sec. at f\/6.3 in Manual mode. AWB. At +2\/3 in early morning light I was getting a few blinkies on the bill tip so I went 1\/3 stop darker. <\/p>\n

One AF point above and one to the right of the center AF point\/AI Servo Expand\/Rear Focus AF as framed was active at the moment of exposure (as is always best if possible when working off the BLUBB). The active AF point was on the bird’s neck just below and forward of the bird’s eye. This put the active AF point right on the same plane as the bird’s eye.
