Speed!

semipalmated plover in flight

shot with Nikon D850 and 600 f/4 E FL + TC 1.4E III. ISO 400 f/5.6 at 1/3200sec hand held in wind (no fun) processed with C1 Pro. The high resolution D850 is ideal for capturing these tiny birds

I don't know how you capture BiF with focal lengths like that, I've tried and failed many times. Need to hit the gym and turn these match stick arms into guns!
Great flight shot Arash! Perfect head angle, super sharp, and spot on exposure, well done!

Amazing flight shot. These speedsters are next to impossible to capture, for most of us anyway; but you've caught him with great wing position and flight angle, and sharpness. Curious to know what your AF setting was.

[Tobie Schalkwyk]

You froze it nicely against a smooth BG Arash! Well done!

[Mike Poole]

Great work in capturing this, I think we've all tried and failed similar shots at some point! Maybe consider losing one of the catchlights. Having the low wings pose really works well here

Thanks guys Bill I used Grp AF

[William Dickson]

Very nice indeed. Great detail for such a small, fast bird. Lovely pose and HA. BG colours set it off well.

Brilliant work Arash. I don't know these birds but can believe they are fast are near impossible to keep in the frame, especially at 840mm. Great background. Tonal range and detail on bird up to your signature high standard. Is the background in this tilted though?

[David Salem]

Great looking flight frame Arash!! Not easy to get these little guys so it looks like that Nikon AF is really doing well. Colors and details look fantastic. I would remove the second catchlight if it were mine, wish it was. Well done

You have adjusted to the Darkside quickly. This little bullet is a challenge to capture in flight..amazing shot Arash
