December 28, 2011 - Silhouettes in Islamorada bridge, FL - mostly cormorants on the wire, with a pelican in flight<br />
<br />
We attempted to drive all the way to Key West, reached Islamorada when the sun set. Unfortunately, we couldn't then find a place a stay, no reservations beforehand, all of the Keys had 'no vacancy boards' all over ! had to return back to mainland :(.. <br />
<br />
My D700's focus button, to change from single focus, continuous focus or manual focus also broke, it just slides thru, and only single auto-focuses now :(, so I'm shooting predominantly with the backup D300s ! can't shoot birds in action or in flight well without continuous focus tracking .. I wonder if it's a sign to switch to the D3 series but K disagrees !!

Stunning - love the presentation. Same thing happened to us once in Key West - no rooms & had to drive north ending up at a dumpy Days Inn :)

Love this Vandana - I have the D 700 too and if it broke, I'd have to go to the D3, just saying......

Beautiful pictures Vandana! And congratulations too!
I am a friend of your brother and met you once in 1996 at your parents' home but don't expect you to remember. My sister (also, Vandana) was also at MAMC at that time (a few years behind you). I have come to your site a couple of times after Swami mentioned it a while ago. What prompted me to write today was that I was in the Everglades and Islamorada/Key West on the exact same days as you were. It would have been a nice surprise to bump into you there :)
