I am just back from a few days in England, working the British Birding Fair for ZEISS Sports Optics. This is the view, more or less, from our tent. A small lagoon at Rutland Water, part of a large wildlife refuge on the shores of a major reservoir. It is a typical English Midlands view…never the same for more than a few moments. It might look like this second image a day, or an hour, later.

Nikon Coolpix P500 at 1) 28mm equivalent field of view, f4 @ 1/1000th @ ISO 160 and 2) 23mm equivalent, f4 @ 1/800th @ ISO 160. Program with Active D-Lighting.

Processed in Lightroom for Clarity and Sharpness. On 1) I used dueling graduated filter effects, darken from the top, lighten from the bottom, to increase the apparent dynamic range.
