Birds in Flight with Canon EOS 7D Mark II / EF 400mm f/5.6L USM Lens
After enduring a continuous moderate to strong south-easterly wind for almost two weeks I ventured out this morning for the first time with camera in hand. I was greeting by flocks of King gulls and the usual Egyptian geese and a few other species. The sunny morning weather - with at just a breeze - was my typical 'ISO 640' morning. Meaning I would more or less encounter my highest Auto-ISO reading with the Canon EOS 7D Mark II at +- ISO 640. My regular photography hike took me along the the Diep River, Woodbridge Island, right up to the edge of the Table Bay Nature Reserve.
