Thank you, Click! Your posts are always very encouraging!Lovely shots, Cog.
Thanks Click!Beautiful pictures, ISv.
Nice series. The 70-200 is an amazing lens. You are going to enjoy it. If you want to capture the hummingbird (or any bird) in flight, you have to be willing to go with a high shutter speed. 1/1600 is about the minimum price of admission. You have an R5, so don't be afraid to let the ISO rise as well. Experiment. Put it in auto ISO, maybe with a ISO 2000 max or, if you shoot RAW, peg the ISO at 800 or 1000 and be willing to raise the exposure on your computer.I'm new to this thread, and thank those before me who've posted such beautiful bird photos.
I just got into Canon and FF with the R5 and 4 RF lenses. This was taken from my house through a window to a hummingbird feeder outside. Taken on a tripod with RF 70-200 L IS at 100mm, f2.8 1/250" ISO 200. I used a wider angle (full image in 1st photo) to try to catch flight within any part of the view. The 5 photos are taken with electronic front shutter at 12fps and are cropped to enlarge the hummingbird vicinity. Not as great as most of y'all, but it's a start.
Thanks for your feedback. (In my first post I noticed the my photos had some parts lost when uploading, so I reframed the crops and re-posted everything). I've taken lots of landscape & high magnification flowers with insect shots, but am new to birding shots so I'll have to learn what works there, as high-speed motion stuff is completely different from what I'm used to. Also, I've enjoyed my non-Adobe post processing flow, but with the new R5 they can't process raws (doh!) like I always did before. So I guess I'll use work-arounds until they do (or else bite the bullet and start an Adobe post flow).Nice series. The 70-200 is an amazing lens. You are going to enjoy it.

Good Light!

I just got into Canon as well as FF with the R5 and 4 RF lenses. This was taken from my house through a window to a hummingbird feeder outside. Taken on a tripod with RF 70-200 L IS at 100mm, f2.8 1/250" ISO 200, electronic front curtain, 12fps and 5 frames. I used a wider angle to try to catch flight within any part of the view. The first frame is shown at full size and then cropped near the humminbird (as as the next 4 frames). I know it's not as great as most of y'all, but it's a start.
I haven't been here for a wile and missed bunch of very nice (up to great!) photos... We are locked again (trails and beaches + sites that I don't use to frequent) and there were just 1-2 places where I can go to shoot. "My" White Tern is already flying, here is a photo of the last stage of checking the wings, and the parents ready to give some lessons in fishing.
After that a photos of White-Rumped Shama - strange looking but at home I figure out that by some reasons it is just changing the feathers around the head (in the field I was thinking - leucistic)!
