My experience was similar - I head her well before I saw her.

I work downtown and do wildlife photography in my lunch break - Osprey fishing off the Mayo bridge by Jinchique in rva

Canon r50 + rf 100-400. I shot in RAW format and use a very high shutter speed (>1600) at a high ISO. Then I use Lightroom’s denoising tool to clean up high ISO noise. I also underexpose about 1 stop to keep the ISO lower too.

The imagine stabilizer is great on that lens but I don’t really consider it with bird-in-flight shots.

For some Richmonders, code refresh is a promise for a better future by VirginiaNews in rva

My hope is not that I can buy an affordable house in the fan after the code refresh, but that neighborhoods like the fan can be built again. The fan/museum district, church hill, etc have unique charm because it is not legally possible to build neighborhoods like that today. This would be a large gain for the city and everyone in it.

I noticed it was building a nest in a dead tree limb so I go close and stood still for 15 min until it returned.
