AlanF said:My very first photos of owls in flight, taken yesterday. These short-eared owls were more than a 100 metres away, flying fast and low against a background. What is remarkable is not the quality but the ability of the 5D IV and a 400mm DO II + 2xTC to pick up and track these tiny dots at the centre. I set speed to 1/1600 s, aperture f/8 and auto iso in manual. The images are very small, occupying only a couple of hundred pixels by a couple of hundred out of the 30 megapixels. Remarkably, one of them is from the very left edge, showing how good the prime with TC is at the extreme. The only processing is DxO prime followed by USM at 0.9 px and 100%.
Very nice series, Alan. I especially like the 3rd picture.
