| Sacred Ibis at ISO 640 - Table Bay Nature Reserve, Cape Town |
I don't think many photographers would have considered Saturday morning a great morning for bird photography.
As part of a Canon EOS 7D Mark II practical training session we nevertheless braved the light rain, gloomy water and dark-grey clouds.
Fortunately, the rain stayed away and we made our way past the Woodbridge Island pump house and spend some quality shooting time in the Table Bay Nature Reserve (albeit at high ISO's).
All in all a great experience with a very enthusiastic wild life photographer.
