HOW TO TAKE SHARP BIRDS IN FLIGHT PICTURES

Interesting and helpful video, good tips. I now realise my shutter speed has been too low so I'll fix that. Thanks.

There are some great tips in this video that I'll be looking forward to trying out.
I am also glad that I've found your channel following the great talk that you gave to our camera club last night .

Cheers Steve, good video. All the best. 👍📷😎

Great video

That was a pleasant video to watch, thank you! 😀

Nice one buddy! Brilliant video! Loved it there! You did very well tolerating the traffic too lol 😂

Struggling to get any sharp photos of BIF at a canal near me but had better success on a lake. Struggled to pan flying ducks using a Dslr 77D with Sigma 100-400mm C

Some useful tips in there Steve. Hope business is good. Keep up the good work buddy. 👍🙂👍

Harder than bif are flying bats ;) great video! Thanks!

Great informative video Steve. I have struggled knowing which mode to use for birds in flight. I have a Z6ii and not overly impressed with the animal eye tracking on it so when you were referring to using the 5 point box was that Dynamic Area Autofocus? If you could let me know that would be great. Ian 👍

Nice Grebe in flight shots Steve

Great video Steve, are you using back button focusing on your Z8.

Good video Steve and some useful advice. I now have the same combo as you and find the Z8 is awesome for BIF. 🙂

I tried to photograph razorbills in flight and it was hell!

Great video Steve, loved the Grebe in flight shots. I've been photographing birds for 35+ years and only seen them flying half a dozen times in all those years! Seems like a cracking venue, shame it's so far from us in North Yorks! Guessing you are enjoying the 180-600 zoom, many times having a zoom is a godsend especially in a hide etc. Cheers and all the best!

Brilliant video Steve I struggle with birds in flight this might help me. I used a Nikon D500 and a sigma 150-600 contemporary

Great stuff Steve! I really struggle with BIF with my G9 so I have started shooting electronic shutter at 20fps versus the 9fps of the mechanical as I have twice as much chance of a shot being in focus just due to the extra frames. Saving for that G9ii is taking a long long time :(

Do you over expose for the sky ?

Some nice shots there Steve. We always try and get to the Causeway when we go to Abberton.

Great stuff Steve, lovely shots as ever...Do you use Sport or normal VR with BIF shots hand-held with the 180-600? Cheers, Robert.

Great work Steve some good advice here 👍
