Went to Candaba last weekend with Wingmac and were very fortunate to have clear blue skies. The Herons were very active in the early morning, was able catch this one flying towards me looking like a raptor. Immature Black-Crowned Night Heron But it quickly veered to the left when it saw me hiding behind a tree.  40D+EF400@400mm,f7.1,1/1250,ISO320,handheld |

Very nice. Looks like you don't need that 500mm after all!

Thanks JP and Ding. For incoming birds, I noticed that the 40D's AF capability is not that good. I found a spot where a lot of the birds were flying towards me and have taken at least 10 to 15 shots of that nature. The 40D was able to lock focus maybe twice, the rest were OOF. Going sideways or away from me, the AF is great but for incoming birds it performed very poorly. I don't know if it's a lack of technique on my part but I've also read about that problem somewhere. By the way my cam settings were the one's always used by the master himself. Maybe the Mastah Birdman can shed some light. |
