Actually, the first one (and all of the ones in my first 5 minutes or so
of shooting) was underexposed and >adjusted in LR later.
Way better than than overexposed.

Thanks Eric (and others).
Actually, the first one (and all of the ones in my first 5 minutes or so
of shooting) was underexposed and adjusted in LR later. I had had exposure
compensation set to -1.3 for some shots of the sunset the evening before.
I saw the loon, came in to get my camera, mount the extender and lens, set
mode to AV, checked the ISO. Got the tripod, went out on the dock, saw
that I was getting decent shutter speeds with that ISO, started shooting.
Once I realized he would be there a while, I took a deep breath and
re-checked including a look at the histograms to verify that the exposure
was about right. Oops! Zeroed the compensation and went on with the
shooting. I considered upping the ISO at that point to get back to a
higher speed but decided not to do that. A total of about 120 shots over a
15 minute time span around 6:00pm. Fifteen or so keepers in the set.

After almost two weeks at our cabin on Long Lake, I finally had a chance
to get reasonably upclose and personal with one of our neighborhood
loons. The wind & wave action was not ideal, he bobbed around quite a
bit and made focusing difficult. But he stayed long enough that I had
many opportunities to try and get it right.
The first shot is a traditional semi-profile, the second is a bit
different. Enjoy!
Tech details: K-3, PK DA*300/4.0 + DA1.4x teleconverter. ISO100, 1/320 @
f/6.3 and 1/125 @ f/6.3 respectively.

I like the richness as well as the sharp focus of both images. Surprised
that at ISO 100 and 1/320 you had enough light for the first .
