Jul 20, 2009 19:19 | #1 Nothing to write home about but this was my first attempt at trying to capture any bird in action. Wow; do I have a newly acquired respect for those awesome posts I have seen here. Trying to get get sharp focus alone, with the movement happening so fast is crazy hard. I may just stick to landscape photography  Sony A7r, Sony 16-35 f4, Canon 1d3, Canon 70-200 f4L, Sigma 150-600 contemporary, G1X, Lee filter holder and gnd's, Singh-Ray reverse gnd

Jul 22, 2009 18:04 | #9 Thanks everyone; that morning I think I was able to have two just ok keepers out of about one hour of trying and about 50 shots. I think I need to do some more research on my mode settings etc and technique.
