What’s Up?<\/h3>\n

Miracle of miracles, it did not rain a drop here on Friday. That morning — yesterday — I made some nice images of new-for-me wildflower, Seaside Primerosewillow. I think \ud83d\ude42 This morning, Saturday 13 JUNE 2020, I worked the small crane colts for a bit and then found and photographed another new wildflower — Forked Bluecurls. I am sure on that ID. It was a tiny weenie flower, about 3\/16 X 1\/2 inch at most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gear Questions and Advice<\/h3>\n

Those questions might deal with systems, camera bodies, accessories, and\/or lens choices and decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image was created on 16 MAY 2020 at Indian Lake Estates, FL. I used the Induro<\/a> GIT 404L\/FlexShooter Pro<\/a>-mounted Sony FE 600mm f\/4 GM OSS lens<\/a> and the 61-MP Sony Alpha a7R IV Mirrorless Digital Camera Body.<\/a> ISO 1000. Exposure determined by Zebras with ISO on the rear dial: 1\/500 sec. at f\/4 in Manual mode. AWB at 8:23am on a then-drizzly morning. <\/p>\n

Tracking Flexible Spot (M) AF-C was active at the moment of exposure and performed to perfection as the AF point tracked the chick’s right eye.<\/p>\n
