Need a faster shutter speed…while they appear to fly nearly motionless, in reality, they are quite fast and quite agile. I rarely shoot one at less than 1/1200 and mostly at 1/2400 to 3200.
Re: heronReply #2 on: February 15, 2021 at 11:53 pmCool looking bird. Higher shutter speed would help. Don’t worry about noise these days go for it and if you have to clean it up in TOPAZ. I wish I could go back to Japan and do the eagles with the Sony a1 and 200-600mm lens. Maybe we need to do our own trip back there.

I am on it. Where in Japan?
Jeremy, it is hard to get these if we are not prepared. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try 😉 Chris is an experienced bird shooter, but there are lots of denizens of his local swamp! 😉 IE, lots of tries!

The light wasn’t brilliant: these are 1/250, f8, ISO 1600, on my RX10iv at nearly full zoom. I’ll keep trying: it’ll be easier in the summer, when the sun is brighter.
Kevin, put me down for another trip to Japan. I loved the place.
David, we were in Hokkaido for the eagles. Can’t recall exactly where.

Re: heronReply #5 on: February 16, 2021 at 4:07 pmIf you’re going to northern Japan, shoot the cranes while you’re there. Especially in the villages where they help feed them through the winter.

Re: heronReply #7 on: February 16, 2021 at 8:59 pmWe did shoot the cranes and a lot of other wildlife. If I can see enough interest I can pull together another trip. I have someone we can use to help us get to the right spots. Maybe in 2022? anyone interested let me know.
