Wonderful photos !
I find it very hard to be in focus on flying birds with MF lenses.
Here at f4.5 you managed to be right in focus. Congrats.
What is your technique ?
How many shots for one good ?

You'll need the biggest aperture possible because you want high speeds.

The hardest part is trying to predict from which direction and on which distance the bird will pass you. Knowing the behaviour of the species helps a lot. The most easy is to let the bird fly into focus. After some practice I usually need about 3 to 5 shots to get a good one.

Thank you Bogie.
So, it's like in a race when we set focus on a point where cars will come in, but here it's much more difficult to predict where birds will pass. Right ?

True, but the bigger the distance, the longer the DOF and thus the margin of sharpness.

Thank you for reminding this very important point.
Did you crop some ?
I have to give it a try with the different long guns I have.  |
