I had a very disappointing outing on Saturday trying to shoot shore birds with my 1Dm3 and the 600. On Sunday, I decided to see if it was the camera or me, so I went shooting in a more familiar environment. It turns out the problem was apparently me not knowing what I was doing. Birds are tricky. The following shot was taken using AI Servo, and the entire progression of shots was in perfect focus. I didn't have any OOF shots at all. This one is typical.
While I was waiting for subjects to shoot, this Amtrak train snuck up behind me. It was too close to shoot with the 600, so I grabbed the 1Dsm2 with the 70-200 f/2.8 and snagged this one. You have to love two-story passenger trains. (Yes, I know I should have edited out the wires. If I start doing things like that, this little act of pleasure will turn into work, and who wants that?)
And I know this next shot doesn't belong in transportation, but this is probably the best shot I got on Saturday. This is the ugliest chicken I ever saw.
