Not spectacular but better than nothing

"...better than nothing" - any kind of photo-exercise is adding to the photo-skills. I have no idea how many shots I have taken in situations that where above my skills/or the abilities of my equipment - for the exercise. And off-course I'm still doing it . You break the wall brick by brick...

R5 + RF100-400 5.6-8
The small light lens is perfect for a walk in the city on a bright sunny day

The only time I find rolling shutter to be a problem is when panning in front of verticals. You wouldn't notice it, however, in a single shot.

I'm more critical but can accept the disadvantages for BIF. Like this one, an unprocessed crop of the finch shows:


For insects I only use mec shutter because of the funny results of the electronic shutter (sorry for the of topic example):

Heron take of
R5 + RF 100-500L @ 1/4000s, f/7.1




The advantage of a zoom lens! The heron started suddenly and I had to zoom out quickly to keep the whole bird in the frame.

Very nice. I agree with Click on liking the second shot.

This real rolling shutter for birds as I posted elsewhere on the R7.

Robin in flight: the first time I have ever captured one - these guys are very small and very fast. R5/100-500mm.

They sure are. Our Robins (American Robins) are much larger than the European robins and slower. Well done, Alan.

This pic hurts my brain LOL. I was taking pics of other birds and the red tail flew right in front of me

LOL It looks like a B-2 Stealth Bomber with feathers.

Funny part is I took the pic and still could hardly figure it out. It is lined up horizontally with center of frame so has a very strange look.

Very nice shot of a Little Ringed Plover.

Thank You!
And it is the only shot I got of this bird. Can't remember how it could happen.
