Shun, what were the other camera settings? I am curious because of the high ISO and the appearance that this was a daytime shot.

 

Since the camera used was a Nikon D500 (introduced almost exactly three years ago in January 2016 during the CES, which is taking place again in Las Vegas this coming week), this is a fairly recent image.

 

I captured it at the La Paz Waterfall Gardens in Costa Rica, about an hour drive from its capital San Jose, in April 2017 and the time stamps says 10am. But that is a rain forest setting with a lot of trees and vegetation so that it was quite dark, and it was overcast that day.

 

The lens is the Nikkor 80-400mm/f4.5-5.6 AF-S VR, and I was using it at 80mm, f5 and 1/500 sec to gain shutter speed since the ducks were moving. That was how I ended up with ISO 12800.
