Hi There
Those of you that have seen my previous posts will know i spend a lot of time at the Hawk Conservancy in the UK trying to get Action shots of Birds in flight, and really enjoy the challenge of trying to capture sharp images of particularly the smaller and faster birds like Lanner & Peregrine Falcons.
I post below a shot taken in July of last year as i was getting used the my then new 500mm F4 lens, the shot was almost what i was trying to capture but its not quite razor focused on the eye. Now maybe i am expecting too much from the equipment. But i would be grateful to hear from anyone else who has more experience of shooting small fast birds.
