Hi all.
My wife and I were fortunate to have had a lovely holiday in Antigua, at Galley Bay Resort. We got back a couple of days ago.
The hotel has a lagoon on site, and has a lot of wildlife, including various birds.
The photos below were all taken using a standard Nikon D5300 and a Nikkor 300mm f/4 PF ED lens, mostly set at f/5.6. I used Manual with auto ISO, and a shutter speed of generally around 1/500. I had to add to expsoure compensation on the DSLR sometimes, as the best time of day was 06:00 to 08:00.
I hope you enjoy the images.
