When we spotted hundreds of dive bombing terns in one of the canals in Masantol, I could not resist to go down the embankment up to the edge of the canal to try my luck at capturing the birds when they hit the water. When I examined that the ground was firm enough to carry my weight I went for it. ;D This time I took out my 2x TC and was just shooting bare to increase target acquisition by the lens and shutter speed.  All shot with 5DM2 + 600 mm L f4 IS, Tripod-Gimbal support. f4.5, 1/1250 sec, ISO 800  f4.5, 1/2500 sec, ISO 800  f4.5, 1/2500 sec, ISO 800  |

Superb captures Neon. Tina's right, tried this many times and though it's very exciting it is not very easy to do. Good job.  |

Wow. I really like the first one! Pow. Splash.
So thats what you were doing down there. You really are so comfortable with your gear. BIFs, handholding in the car, scrambling down embankments, wow....and this is the heaviest Canon lens?
I think you are really getting the most out of your gear. Bravo!

Thanks Plain Master Idol Tina, Rey, Tonji, Ely, Martin, William, Edu & Paolo!! glad you liked it!! @ Tina..hehehe you're right, I had to trash a lot of blurred and out of focused photos. When there are opportunities like this, to capture bird behaviors, I try as much as possible to acquire some usable photos. I always try shooting at different shooting condition when there is time for me to play around with the camera setting and find out what's best for that situation, so that when it presents it self again I, more or less, have an idea of what to use. |
