Thanks, Aram!=20
What I didnt't mention here, was that the shot was a bit difficult to=20
make. As I'd mentioned on one of the other lists...it was shot in the=20
midst of a tropical downpour, in a Rain Forest. About an inch of rain in =
20 minutes.
To make things even more difficult, I was shooting on the Sarapiqu=ED =20
River, from a boat with about 20 other folks in it, all moving about...=20
not to mention the vibration of the outboard motor and the motion of=20
the boat itself. The saving grace was that I was under cover - so the=20
cameras stayed dry.
Were I to go again, I'd never substitute the 80~200 Vario Elmar and 2x=20
converter for the 400mm Telyt. I'd always used 100 ISO in the tropics =20
- and never felt the need for more speed. Until I hit the rain forrest,=20
on a rainy day. I needed ISO 3200 to axchieve a 1/250th second shutter=20
speed. Without that, I've have been sunk!
Still, I considered myself very lucky. I got off about 8 or 9 shots of =
the Anhinga and about 3 are sharp as tacks! I think that's pretty good, =
considering the conditions. :-)
Watch this space for other Costa Rican bird photos... coming soon, to a =
computer screen near you!
And, thanks for looking!
