I love to push my gear to the max, especially new gear. With the 100-400mm f\/4.5 lens,  this has meant everything from zooming out almost all the way for bird-scapes to adding the 2X TC and working at an effective focal length of 1200mm, all while handholding. Like Billy Joel, I tend to go to extremes.<\/p>\n<p>Note: all of today&#8217;s images were made on what could only be described as lousy mornings. What&#8217;s the key to success?

My single favorite leads the pack by forty lengths. I will of course share it with you here in the next post. <\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s Up<\/h3>\n<p>I photographed on Thursday morning at ILE and, as has been the pattern recently, did not do very well at all. That afternoon I made the drive to Jacksonville with two pit stops and zero naps . I watched the World Cup game, unpacked my bag, and got the Airbnb set up. David Pugsley and Michelle arrived at about 6:30 PM. We were on our way to Huguenot Memorial Park at 5:35 AM on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>It must have been an early season for the terns, as the beaches were covered with thousands of fledged and flying young Royal Terns sporting their various plumages. For whatever reason, the birds were atypically wary. I got lucky when I stumbled across a very small chick with two adults and made a few good images.<\/p>\n<p>After an early dinner \u2014 BAA seared fresh yellowfin tuna and a huge salad \u2014 we headed back to the beach. The afternoon was much better as the young terns were relatively copacetic and we had some very good chances. With the sun in the northwest and the usual south wind, we prayed for clouds; our prayers were answered. That overcast hour yielded some really good flight shooting. BTW, I used the new lens exclusively on Day One, mostly with the 1.4X TC.  <\/p>\n<p>The Pugsleys&#8217; friend Ray Murray drove down from Charleston, SC, and will be joining us for three photo sessions. The Pugsleys live in Plant City, FL, and I live in Indian Lake Estates, FL. Ironically, Ray had the shortest drive!<\/p>\n<p>Today is Saturday 11 July 2026. The four of us will be packing into my X5 early tomorrow morning and getting to the park in plenty of time for sunirise. As always.

The combination of the Green Heron, the egret, and all the hanging moss really make this image for me. As is usually the case, Sony\u2019s Zebra technology nailed the perfect exposure on what would be a significant challenge for most other systems. Once I picked my shutter speed, I simply raised the ISO until I had a few Zebras on the white plumage of the egret. With the way I have my Zebras set up, seeing those few stripes on the highlights guarantees a perfect raw file exposure with every frame.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><center>ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/center><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>This image was created on 9 July 2026 by yours truly down by the lake near my home at Indian Lake Estates, FL.

Working right at the MFD of the 100-400mm lens (4.9 feet), however, even stopping down two full stops did not come close to sharpening up the feathers on the crane\u2019s body. While the eye is razor-sharp &#8212; as is most of the red crown, the feathers on the neck are a bit soft. Considering that the depth of field in front of the point of focus at 4.9 feet at f\/9 is only slightly more than one-tenth of an inch, that makes absolute sense. When you are working close to the MFD with a telephoto lens, you are never going to get much depth of field.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The brutal physics show that when working wide open at f\/4.5 at 400mm at the lens&#8217;s MFD, the depth of field is effectively zero.  <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><center>ngg_shortcode_2_placeholder<\/center><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>This image was created on 6 July 2026 by yours truly on  the front lawn of my home at Indian Lake Estates, FL.

When I saw the second adult flying in to join the two-colt family, I tapped the AF-ON button and was gratified that I did not clip anything in the ten-frame sequence. Yes, you can always crop after the fact, but my gut feeling is that crop mode enables the AF system to acquire and track a bird&#8217;s eye more effectively. <\/p>\n<p>Note: the stump of a palm tree that was right behind the rear of the bird was removed from this image. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><center>ngg_shortcode_4_placeholder<\/center><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>This image was created on 8 July 2026 by yours truly down by the lake near my home at Indian Lake Estates, FL.

He announced the creation of the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research that night and made those words the official motto.
