Moorhen take-off

[Ofer Levy]

1D Mark IV, Canon 600 f4, 1/2000, f8, iso 640, tripod, Miller fluid head

Taken this morning. The Dusky Moorhens are very active as this is the beginning of their breeding season. I am trying to get them fighting but wasn't too disappointed to get this one...;)
Still struggling with the AF performance of the Mark IV if anyone can share his/hers experience with the AF settings that would be greatly appreciated.
(No, I am not going to buy any booklet/CD/book....:D )

Ofer:

Nice job on the exposure, great sense of action with flying water, blurred wings. Agree with Chris about the blocked foot, but it still tells the story well. Might consider a more room in front if you have it.

The running/water splashing action, combined with the great low angle, provide a very dynamic image. Having the complete far foot would have been a huge bonus, but still very impressive as is.

Wonderful action caught Ofer!!! And one of the better moorhen images I have seen!

[denise ippolito]

Beautiful action captured. I like the eye contact and I agree w/ a bit more room in front if you have it.

[Hendri Venter]

Room in front mentioned but such great action captured. Blacks also very well exposed.
