Thank you, André.
It was kind of lucky. I didn't expect having drones there.
Shooting at f/11 and 30 seconds would have the drones stealthed completely. :-D
 
Looks like my Bengals. An uncooperative bunch!!
 
All great but the second picture is fantastic!
 
Why did you take some of the photos with very high ISO and 1/8000 shutter, even if the scene is static? Was it your intention to make them noisy?

Probably too lazy to change ISO from some of the darker areas to be honest 😉

The lower tier of Duck Falls on the Brookside Trail, on Mount Madison, New Hampshire. The fall itself was in the shade, but as luck would have it, the flying spray was in sunlight. Getting there (the way we did it) was a 6.2 mile round trip, with ~2200' of climbing.

Brookside is a rough trail even by northern New England standards, and steep in places, but well worth the effort.

I was watching a kingfisher on the local lagoon. It appeared to like a particular pole on the lagoon so rather than try to follow the kingfisher darting across the lagoon, I decided to watch the pole that he liked to perch on, and let him come to me. The kingfisher took off and after a while returned to "his" pole with a fish tightly clutched in it's mouth. When the Kingfisher landed on "his" pole he met an unexpected visitor a Snowy Egret who was just wandering around. The expression of surprise on both the Kingfisher and egret is one of those moments that I wish I could say I saw it happen and reacted in time. I would like to claim that that shot and subsequent ones were all my doing, but in fact It happened too fast and too far away for me to see what was happening thru the evf. It was only after I released the shutter and looked at my photos could I see what the Z8 saw. Amazing AF. Good job Nikon!
