Nature's All Star Lineup in Dry Tortugas National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around and exploring Bush Key in Dry Tortugas National Park. The view is looking to the southeast to Long Key with birds flying around some trees and bushes. Several things drew me into this image and setting. One was the birds themselves flying about. Another was the difference between the colors of waters in the nearby area where I was located and the more deeper blue waters beyond the Long Key in the Gulf of Mexico. I liked that color contrast and separation the key made. The blue skies also added a nice backdrop for the birds flying out helping to make them more distinguishable. In capturing this image, I used my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera with a NIKKOR Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR that I found quite responsive and worked well in gaining a focus with the subject detection of the birds flying about.
