Man there's a lot of birds here! Figure this is a good place to practice shooting bif. I think I picked easy ones. Hard to get a good BG but I'm happy with my first results I think the 7D helps also.

Post your camera settings to see if their are any that can be tweaked for best results with BIF. Not sure if you ahve played with the AI servo speed or other CFn functions for the Auto Focus system. The good thing is all these shots are in focus so your tracking is spot on. 7D / 70-200 F4L IS / 400 5.6L / 50mm 1.8 / 18-55 Kit / CS5 plus other software.

To NO ANGLE my tracking speed was one notch towards slow. C.FnIII-2 af priority/Tracking priority -3 continuous af track priority I also used single focus point with expansion. That seemed to really help out. Claude Those look good. I would say try tracking speed all the way to slow. It has helped me a lot more. Stays in focus longer once it is grabbed the first time. 7D / 70-200 F4L IS / 400 5.6L / 50mm 1.8 / 18-55 Kit / CS5 plus other software.
