R5 is like cheating.

Very nice series, Bert. Pretty cool, the last one.

Thanks C!

Alan was the inspiration for the animation. I was just practicing BIFs. The original is MP4 @ 4K - it looks pretty cool.

My first bird shot with the 100-500 on the R5. Terrible light, but I caught Lapwings on the turn.

Here are some Northern Harriers taken in early December in Ladner, BC. For informational purposes, the size (inches) is included in the file name (cropped from native 22.4"X14.9"). Focus not always in the right spot or slightly off, but I feel better having stopped pixel peeping.

Here is one more Northern Harrier from June 2020. I recall I wasn't looking in the right direction when this one caught my eye, so it was a quick spin and shoot, hence the lack of sharpness and too high in the uncropped frame, but I think this is the only one I've ever got reasonably close with prey.

Still no raptors or any such interesting birds...but here's a few more from the first outings with the 100-500 a few days ago. These are with the 1.4x TC and still cropped in a bit.





And these are with the bare lens on a cloudy day. I've got more of the goose - I can't find it now, but there was mention of software used for animated gifs a week or two ago...anyone recall what that was? I'd like to give it a try.

Beautiful shots, HenryL. I especially like the second picture.

Pigeon or Superman? (R5+100-500mm @ 700mm).

We've had starling murmurations in our area for the last week. Also, there have been a couple of peregrines circling the groups trying to grab a bird so it's really been quite a show. Taken with the R5 and 100-400 II
