This does not come from greater experience, more planning, or anything of that crafty nature, though it <em>might<\/em> have benefited from using Full Sun white balance instead of Auto like the previous, retaining the color register of the early morning sun. Nor was this a planned revisit of the earlier image. I was simply tracking the pelican in the hopes of a close approach when it banked near the sun. The Canon 30D definitely did not have the shutter lag of the F717, and chances are I was anticipating this more, but other than that it was all chance differences. More than anything, this is just showing the unintentional similarity of two images shot years apart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one I can remember fairly well, despite having no context or surroundings.
