Darn, those catfish are unattractive. I'll take a rainbow trout or king salmon any day. I think I would have gone for the warblers. 🤣🤣🤣 |

Hi Susan: I can't add anything to the volume of advice regarding your image provided above. It's been well-stated and thorough. A couple of things - before I switched to mirrorless the D500 with the 300mm f/4 was one of my favorite rigs. It's light, fast, and very sharp with an effective 450mm. The only thing I didn't like was the noisy shutter. I still have the 300mm. Regarding Topaz AI versus ACR/LRC noise removal - a pro photographer I respect highly just ran a series of tests of one against the other. His result was there is no credible difference. They both do a terrific job. |

Appreciate all the comments. I thought about removing the shadow, then said to myself, "If I remove the shadow, I'll receive comments for altering the natural image." 🤣🤣 |

Richard - I love the interaction between the fawns, and I appreciate the difficulty in tracking and trying to get a clear shot in all that swamp underbrush. Your subjects are remarkably sharp. I took the liberty of playing around with your shot (just for practice) using the new Photoshop Beta Generative Ai to remove some of the overlapping vegetation. I then brought the image back to LRC and did some subject masking to darken the background entirely. Then a little light sharpening. Here's more of a portrait shot, just for fun, because those fawns are so darn cute. 😉 |

Hi David: Congrats on a timely shot catching the eagle with the fish at exactly the right time.
I would be curious to know what focal area setting you used. With large birds like eagles, I like to use (on Nikon) Wide-area AF with subject detection. It's easier to track and I get more keepers with good eye definition that way. In your shot, it appears the 7D locked onto the fish. The other challenge you had, being in a boat, was handholding, so you had to contend with hand and boat motion. The 3500 fps should have accounted for that, but you might have gone with an even higher shutter speed and ISO. If you were tracking the eagle coming in, you might also have extended your lens to 200mm.
My comments are not meant as criticism for your timing of the shot was terrific. |
