Thanks useful information:

Good day Tannin,
The pelican photos were taken using a Tamron 18-400 lens at 400mm, the GPS app that I use shows the distance to the birds was 51 metres.
Meta data - 1/2000 f7.1 and 800iso. Maybe I should back the zoom off to 300 or so. There is plenty of info in the RAW files to allow for cropping and I will use the single precision focus point rather than the 9 point mode.
I will be there again tomorrow use a Canon 400 lens, drop the shutter speed to 1/1000 and lower iso.
Thanks for the white balance info, it is a topic that I have not come to grips with. That will change this arvo.
I like the Canon lenses they certainly provide clear photos, $$s though, I am running out of kidneys to sell. My ticker has had a hard life, no value there either.
My use of the name Journeyman becomes more accurate daily.
Kind regards, Dennis
