Sometimes you find yourself in the right place at the right time. Made with a Canon 40D and Sigma 50-500mm, hand-held from a kayak.

Bob,
great capture. When you say handheld in a kayak, what was the lens mm for that particular shot? It's sharp as a tack.

Jim

Thanks Jim. That was shot at 500mm... full zoom.

FWIW, the shot is this morning's winner on One Daily Shot.

Lovely shot and to be in a kayak too - wow! You must not have had any caffiene

Lovely, fabulous shot!! Yup, sharp as a tack. And the details in the whites is really good.

Jim, this is the exif data for the image. Just right click to get the data. I use Firefox, and it may be one of the add-ons.
