Nice photograph Eric, do these bird only have one leg? Seem a little odd... Perhaps you are suffering the leg eater firmware update... Like the Sony alpha, star eater firmware update I just read about.

Lol But in this instance they may have fallen off ....as there were a couple of Mergansers looking for them....or maybe THEIR legs had dropped off and were searching for them?

The lighting was not good on this day, so I wasn't very happy with results, having to bump up the ISO and withstand the gale that was blowing. (At least the high shutter speed masked that!) I am however coming to the realisation that with distant birds even 800mm isn't sufficient...and perhaps even undesirable! I still couldn't fill the frame meaning cropping was necessary which given the poor lighting and howling gale meant high ISO...not the best recipe when cropping required. Although the forum software has softened these images, I am not impressed with the sharpness, even on my screen. It could be operator error or unfamiliarity with the Fuji or a combination of the degrading factors mentioned above. But I have to say my patience is running out with the mirrorless Fuji for this type of application.

Bit of leg pulling going on here! ROFLMAO! My thoughts keep coming back to a story I read about an African photographer who hid partly submerged in a watering hole to get close up's of Lions gathering and drinking. After two days he got his photo's and managed to retreat without being eaten by Lions or Crocodiles, I think he may have needed a shower though... One of my neighbours works as a ranger in Grizedale Forrest, he has shown me photo's of the semi wild Wolves they have in an enclosure in the forrest. He has some very natural looking photo's of them, quite convincing. Not sure what that has to do with anything but I just thought somebody might be interested. LOL Long lenses are never long enough, I had a 400-f4 with the dedicated X2 multiplier on DX which equated to 1200mm f8 but even that wasn't long or fast enough for me. So I gave up on long lens photography, since I have no yearning to sit in a pond for two days to capture a photograph of a bird of ANY species I have also given up on targeting birds, If one has the audacity to fly nearby then I might take a snap shot, as was the case when the Red Kite was hunting in the middle of a car racing venue recently.

Eric, have you tried increasing Clarity (Lightroom). I agree with Robert about telephoto use and the continual need for a longer lens. This is my reason for thinking that I need to use a 45MP camera. It is easier to crop a sharp high resolution image than to carray a huge telephoto!
