BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

[bhf3737]

Absolutely love the reflections and movement in this photo! Awesome job, bhf3737!!

Thank you! I wanted to catch them when all move a bit to the right to avoid brightness of the water surface but it seems that luckily I could capture some reflection.

I really like this shot. Well done, bhf3737.

<sarcasm> But you have clearly mislabeled your picture, everybody here knows it is impossible to take BIF images with Canon’s jittery AF, if you want to take a picture of a bird in flight you MUST use a Nikon or Sony </sarcasm>

Absolutely - I needed a Nikony D7R IV for this:



Oh - hang on. It was my 7D Mk II.

And the rubbish-at-AF Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8.

And a 2X TC.

At 600mm

Handheld...

Awesome shot, AlanF! I love that blue and the framing. Also, thank you for your 90D posts. They really helped me decide to go with that camera body for wildlife (especially for birding). Look forward to seeing more of your photos

Thanks Theodore. The 90D is great. We are starting our real birding trip on Sunday and sharing two 100-400mm II and the 90D and 5DSR between us, and have left the 5DIV at home. There is sufficient reach with 400mm on the 90D that there is no need to use a 1.4xTC with it. I am pleased my earlier posts have been helpful.

Beautiful picture. Well done, Alan.

The 5DSR + 100-400mm II + 1.4xTC is really quite good for BIF despite being limited to just the centre spot + 4 helpers. Here is a group of glossy ibises, downsized and one at 100% crop.
