Thanks Ely, Doc Boy and Toto!
Rey's tip of configuring the C2 in 50D is really making possible the taking of BIF shots even if one's settings at the moment are good for perched birds. You just have to turn the dial to C2 and bang, you have a BIF settings that would be able to freeze your subject!

That's an excellent catch Alain, not easy to get this skulker in-flight.

Wowoww.... it's not often that this skulker is caught in the air, great eye contact! Seems you're practicing for a future contest motif, Alain. |
