Stopping in to see the last few weeks of posts from other Sony shooters in here - nice stuff! Love the tigers - being through the trees makes it feel more 'secret' like you were creeping through the trees and came upon the scene. Also love the ship on the Savannah - I used to love that surreal feeling of big ships passing by on rivers from my years in New Orleans.
Haven't been many birding or wildlife posts, and since that's what I do most of the time, I figured I'd throw in some more of my latest birding shots with the A6000 & FE70-200mm lens combo:
Sky missile in my backyard - I was having fun over the weekend relaxing in my pool and practicing panning and shooting these unpredictable and superfast barn swallows as they jetted around over my backyard picking up bugs:
Lovely white ibis pulling a last-minute banking turn:
This black-bellied whistling duck was flying awfully close to me - he headed right in my direction as I panned with him and I had to pull back the zoom as he came at me so he didn't get clipped out of the frame:
Red-winged blackbird on a reed in the sun:
Red-shouldered hawk hiding in the deep shade of the pine and cypress forest, waiting for birds to come in out of the sun so he could ambush them:
OK - not birds, but adorably cute baby raccoon who were following mom through the wetlands when I caught their attention:
In Florida, especially this time of year, it rains almost every day - so you have to accept that sometimes, you'll be birding in the rain. Umbrella and a rain sleeve over the camera means you can sometimes catch interesting shots, like a grackle flying off while the rain comes down, spraying out from his wings:
A male least bittern all puffed up in anger - he had just chased off another male bittern who was getting a little too close to the female he was trying to woo:
