From today at Anhinga Trail ENP a straight out of the camera Great Blue Heron blur !! Used 100-400 IS with the Mk4 at 1/8 sec starting tight and zooming out Best to have a slight hesitation at the start then zoom for a sharper center. When starting these types best to use a tripod for better results, with time you can do them hand held as this one... but still go back to the tripod when available !! .....btw darken corners a bit to concentrate view on the bird. Flash was used to help out sharpness, set a -1
I love the zoom blur effect here and your use of flash. I only wish for a better you know what :)
