ABOUT THIS BLOG
Every day, the weather gods and the photography angels willing, a new photograph will be posted here. Some will be from my archive of nature photographs, taken both from our cabin on the shore of Lake Superior in Upper Michigan and in the garden of Three Crowns Park in Evanston, Illinois. From time to time I'll sneak in a shot or two taken while indulging in other passions.
MY BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE AS EBOOKS AND PAPERBACKS ON AMAZON.COM

good catch :)
Great catch! But why were you shooting at ISO 800 on a sunny BEACH, for Pete's sake? Even with such a long lens you could have used ISO 100 and gotten a photo with finer "grain" and sharpness.
That ISO 800 was a mistake. I usually have the camera set to at 400 for most shots, and would have gone to 100 had I remembered it was at the beach -- but I had set the ISO to 800 to get a high shutter speed for a Northwestern U. lacrosse game nearby, and forgot to dial down for the sand.
When printed to 8x10 size, there is a little, but barely perceptible, noise in the photograph. At Web size you can't see it, happily.
