Sublime and Beautiful Sunday Ducks and a butterfly
This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by 
And this week I am back to birds, well to be specific some shots I have taken of ducks mostly by the Duck pond in Buttonwood Park here in New Bedford but some in other spots and as the title suggest I will finish off with a shot of a butterfly
Let me start with this colorful character I saw one morning

Again I will say I am pretty impressed with my Sony A7IV the last shot and the next one were taken with ISO at 16000 and the end result is pretty crisp and very minimal noise, on previous cameras I have had I had always never wanted to go over ISO 400 on my first digital camera then ISO 800 on another or the images would be very noisy
but as you can see even at ISO 16000 I can still get usable images, I think I currently have my camera set when on auto ISO to go to a maximum of 16,000, I may have to try increasing that and see how far I can stretch it

Clearly this next shot was from last winter, which makes me think two things, Ducks are touch little critters standing on ice barefeet and not bothered at all
and secondly i am not looking forward to winter lOL
