Can I improve my keeper rate here?
Hi Everyone,
I have been practicing my flight photography recently but really find it frustrating at times! I love my Canon 40D but BIF really pushes it to it's limits, worst of all is when i know I have done my bit right (orienting myself to the light, pre-focusing, picking up and tracking the bird, bumping the focus regularly and waiting for the decisive moment to press the shutter) and still the image is out of focus!
This image features a bird flying straight at the camera, full frame, which is when I experience most misses. Is there anything i could do to improve results with my current set up?
The techs here were:
Shutter speed - 1/1250 sec
Aperture - 6.3
ISO - 400
Canon 40D and 400mm 5.6 lens (focus limit set to 8.5m to infinity)
Julian.
