I took my new Tair 3 to the falconry today and caused a bit of a stir. 
Because it's so big and shiny people seemed to think it was a hugely expensive modern lens. 
One gentleman from Carolina, with a Sony SLT-65 and 70-300 lens, was amazed by it and confidently predicted I wouldn't get any joy shooting the birds.  When we compared shots after the display it was clear only one of us knew how to drive a camera. 
It was dull out there today, so wide open with ISO400, processed in Lightroom.

Wow Wow Wow!!! I salute you. I tried one time before with 300mm AFS with Fuji S5 Pro for BIF and I never get even one good photo. You are using heavy lens and even with MF.

Superb shots and your skill at these shots with MF lenses confound me. I couldn't even get the moon to sit still for a 250th of a second! |

Great pictures and excellent skills!
How do you do it: focusing continuously while they are flying or put the lens to infinity and start spraying?

Thanks. Continuous focusing mostly, otherwise I'll pre-select the focus and wait for the bird to come into range. I've never used infinty for this.
