THE FINGER:

I had sat in the Orangutan enclosure for over an hour, camera ready for a good shot. This was in marked contrast to the normal visitor, who spends a very short amount of time at any one enclosure - not surprising if you have children in tow, mind you.

Still, the Orang obviously was aware of this, and after regarding me thoughtfully for a long moment, it gave me ... the finger!

I checked eBird, and it looks to be a week or two early for Brown-crested. But lots of recent Ash-throated sightings.

These are even smaller and faster and they tease you after a while by flying past year head. I tried but when they came close ands swooped away the R5 couldn't keep up. Maybe the R3.

The more erratic the motion of a subject, the larger the angle of view needs to be, relative to subject size, to track it successfully. While we typically go for narrow angles of view for small/distant subjects, that is also counterproductive for tracking the erratic subject, so what is really needed, ideally, is very sharp, fast, shorter lenses with a very high MP sensor, and an AF that can quickly identify something like a swallow when it is small in the frame. We have a way to go before all of those conditions are met, so for now, we have to track with tunnel-vision, unless we want to rely on things like red-dot sights, but then we don't get real time feedback on focus success if we are looking at the red dot.

I agree about the lens characteristics. Thanks for the post. Helpful.

Took advantage of a sun break to snap a few shots in the yard.

All taken with the RF 100-400mm, not in gear list but an awesome and affordable lens.

Marbled Godwit

"It was at this moment, he knew he Messed up!"

I think this is a Female Black-headed Skimmer, taken at the Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens in Brisbane.

I used the Canon RF 100mm F2.8L IS USM Macro lens (not yet in database).

Cheers
