Thanks, guys - I'm not an habitual BIF shooter, but I always try to catch something happening (rather than the bird just flying by), in the hope of making the image stand out a little.
Keith,
That's one to look in awe!
Regards,

AlanF said:Someone posted in one of the threads recently that they couldn't get their 5DSR/100-400mm II to focus rapidly enough to capture swallows in flight. By coincidence, I got just 1 shot in of a barnswallow sweeping in front of me at high velocity 15m away yesterday near Stockholm where I am visiting with my 5DSR and 100-400mm II. The shot isn't perfect as the speed was only 1/2000s at f5.6 and iso 640, but the focus was nailed. The angle is quite nice and it will look OK printed small.
Lovely! Well, just photoshop itLonelyBoy said:Shot this guy while my wife was finishing a bike ride. Wished this one was against blue sky instead of blah clouds.
