It's a little easier to shoot a Trumpeter Swan on a cloudy day without blowing out the whites.

Just for fun I took two kinds of tech with me. First the Canon EOS 7DMkII, with a Sigma 150-600C lens, and the EOS R6 with its 100-500 lens.

Both got shots, but the R6 had the higher keeper rate by quite a bit. "All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow", Leo Tolstoy;

Jan 23, 2021 01:03 | #1444 I have a friend who owns an R and I was surprised that he mainly shoots in One Shot and rarely servo unless there’s action. He said he has some missed shots and I figure it’s probably due to One Shot. Canon EOS R6 - Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 - Canon RF 85mm f/2

He said he has some missed shots and I figure it’s probably due to One Shot. For the near 4 years I’ve been using mirrorless, I’ve always use Servo/AF-C if I’m handheld and One Shot only when I’m on a tripod and my subject is static. Assuming I always have a decent shutter speed, I always have a 100% hit rate. Does everyone else here use Servo unless on a tripod? For shooting moving subjects such as animals I use servo, but I rarely ever use a tripod. "All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow", Leo Tolstoy;

Jan 23, 2021 07:09 | #1447 Here's another example of the animal eye focus. Nailed it despite ALL those branches. Would have been difficult (not impossible) on the 7D2 with the heavy Sigma 150-600.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. R6 | 7D II | iPhone 12 Pro | 60D | M10
