    I continue to be amazed at the autofocus of the D500.
    Very low light and flying through the trees at Kingfisher speed and the camera still grabbed it...

    Kingfisher speed and uneven flight pattern... Not only did you get it, this frame mostly cleared the leaves for a better view. TFS

    Excellent soft colouring in this light. Camera did well so did the Camera man.

    Tough birds to catch in flight even against a plain background. With a leafy BG such as this its amazing. Well done.

    Wow, well captured, the head is a little soft but I would take this any day. Good work locking onto this speedster especially against a BG like that. Nice flight pose.

    Looking good. The background is pretty close and has lots of stuff the autofocus could have locked on. The composition is nice.
