I want to learn how to take BIF photos. My current success rate is abysmal (with and without the 1.4X extender). Do any of you know of an Internet tutorial you would recommend, general or specific to the Canon 5D iv? Or, any advice in this forum would be greatly appreciated.
(Common Raven, Curecanti National Recreation Area, Colorado. Canon 5D iv, 100-400 L ii, 1.4x iii, at 560 mm; 1/2500, F10, ISO 2500; one decent shot out of many bad ones)
First peice of advice. One good shot out of many is the norm. Don't go around thinking that wildlife shooters have a high ratio of good shots. Second is practice. Learning your gear is only part of the deal. The bigger part is learning the wildlife. The more you know about wjat you are shooting, the better your shots will be. Feildcraft is everything. Example. Birds land INTO the wind most of the time. Get the sun and the wind at your back whenever possible. For othe wildlife you want the wind in your face so they don't smell you. Etc etc.View attachment 185863

This osprey stared at me a few times; luckily it picked a fish than me at the end.
Very nice. Here is my first posted shot on this site.
Taken on the James River East of Richmond, VA.
