Yesterday, Sunday April 13th, my sweetie-wife and I as is more often than not, visited the San Diego Zoo and it was the second weekend with my replacement camera.

I have to say I think this camera, a used Nikon D750 in excellent condition, performs much better with its white balance under overcast conditions than my previous unit. I had gotten sued to leaving my older camera at home when it was overcast because I disliked how the photo came out but yesterday, I was quite pleased with the results. Here are two pics I took on Sunday’s excursion. Both are birds. One caught in flight, just barely within the frame, but I love how by sheer luck I got a nice capture of its wings and second of a another bird of the same species at the instant it’s taking off from a branch, wings pulled back high for the downstroke, body stretched with its leap into the air, but the bird hasn’t yet released its grip on said branch.
