Just won an auction for a 58mm Helios-44-2-for-M42-Zenit-Pentax-Praktica for $32 US. Another $5 for a 42mm to Nikon adapter with corrective optic. Nothing like some fine old Soviet glass for the D850

This is D850 with the 80-400 mm plus x1.4 at 550mm today on Farlington Marsh flock of over 200 Brent this at 1000 ISO 1/500 sec f10. Plenty of good detail in quite overcast light. Attachment: Brent 0223.jpg (Downloaded 44 times)

They look like Canada Geese that landed in the Tar Sands.

No they are Brent and smaller than Canada. Here is a family of Canada Geese in Tichfield Haven another of our local bird Reserves. Tech bit: Nikon D500 with Nikon VR 500mm F4 AF-S lens, 1/1600 sec at f9 500 ISO. Attachment: Canada Geese 0166.jpg (Downloaded 38 times)

Nice family snap! No obvious difference between the goose and the gander? Do I count seven gosling heads? Obliging of them to stay in line to have their picture taken, certainly helps with the DoF.

Really? I thought plumage was the indicator! One learns something every day. Just as long as the Geese know then I guess it don't matter!

For example the Goldfinch has red face markings that extend beyond the eye in males but stop at the eye in females. There may be such a tweak of nature in Canada geese that I am not aware of...but always thought the female was smaller. Most of the corvids are the same for both sexes with size being the only, or most obvious, differentiator. And don't get me started on goosanders, mergansers and immature of each species, not to mention eclipse phases or individual bird variations .....a right buggers muddle.

This is for Eric. https://www.fujix-forum.com/threads/grand-slalom.79220/ It is all about the technique. All images shot on XT2 with 100-400. If you got the camera set up right and you know your stuff then it is easy. It is about getting the AF settings right.
