7-Shot Burst - Javan Pond Heron Spears its Meal

[Bobby Kintanar]

This is a 7-shot burst of the JPH catching its food at the Jugan Fish Ponds:

EOS -7D Mark2; Sigma 150-600mm Sports @ 600mm; Tv-1/2000; f/6.3; ISO 640; Benro GH-2 Gimbal Head on a SLIK AMT Tripod; Natural Lighting only, no flash used: Very minimal processing was involved, save for aesthetic cropping, very slight sharpening and white balance adjustments.

The series shows how the 7D2's AF Sytem can lock on to a subject even with a very busy background. Hopefully, the Osprey will show up next time and with some luck, maybe we can grab some nice captures of that bird in action as well.

Regards to all!

Wow! Amazing series, unbelievable action nicely captured. The 7D MII sings in your hands, Ka Bobby.

I'm actually very partial to action shots now, as images of static birds are not as visually dramatic.

Hahaha, me too, Ka Mastah. Action shots are more of a challenge than static birds, and I too tend to look for these types of situations more often now. :-)
