Recent trip to Bempton RSPB,
5DSR 100-400MK2 +1.4 iii 1/2000 @f7.1 ISO400
View attachment 185748100-400

Bempton is absolutely great for gannets, either shooting from the cliffs or from the RSPB boat. From the cliffs, they wheel past you at the same level. It is a nice place to visit.

Out today for dragonflies in flight and suddenly a bird in flight appeared. Not only did I not have the extender on the 100-400mm, but I had the lens at 360mm by mistake. Nevertheless, the 5DSR didn't let me down and I got some shots of a kestrel flying rather than the easy hovering ones.

Yet another of my Kreta series. (Both feet in the air = BIF )
200D + 85/1.8, 1/1600, f/8, ISO400

If a flightless bird like an ostrich or kiwi was pictured with both feet off the ground, would we have to reclassify them? We need to get some top philosophers into CR to help us out.

Somehow that sounds academic and pedantic and therefore typical German. I feel like home

OTOH do you like the photo and do you think it is right here or sould I remove it?

Actually, I agree with Jack Douglas and think we should merge the two threads.

Visited the RSPB reserve in Beadnell Bay Northumberland to see the Artic Terns, great to watch.

Great shot - it inspires me to post one of my wife's from nearby on the inner Farne last month using the same gear but without the TC, which was in the pipeline to post. (Actually, I think yours must also have been without the TC if was f/5.6.)

Thanks Alan,
Yes your right I will correct the post

 

[ISO64]

If a bird lifts both its legs and no one is around to see it, does it fly?

To the sound of one hand clapping.

I just love the 5DSR with the 100-400mm II. It's capable enough to get birds in flight shots like these at high resolution at a high keeper rate.

Very nice shot. Well done, RGB49.

I think we should keep them separated. Because of the many posts in both the outstanding photos are so fast on the former page.

Concerning my starting seagull: I saw so many starting and landing birds in this thread, that I had the understanding, that this was part of this section (BIF), too.

The opening post in Bird Portraits is:

Show your Bird Portraits

Post your Bird Portraits here :-) Parrots, Birds of Prey, Herons and all the others ... Just post your portraits here :-) The main idea of this topic is that the bird is clearly the main part component of the picture and that it is not a bird in flight or small bird on large tree or group shot...

Those rules are broken all the time. We would need many separate threads to accommodate all our shots.

I agree Alan the 5DSR is a great camera and its resolution gives fantastic results.
