Osprey, Pandion haliaetus rising from the water after catching a large trout. Taken at Horn Mill Ospreys Trout Farm Rutland Canon1DX-2 with 300mm
Taken at Horn Mill Ospreys Trout Farm Rutland Canon1DX-2 with 300mm prime lens This camera and lens are a phenomenal combination as you can is very little grain in the picture and at the set up has managed to apply focus throughout the picture. This, in my opinion, is down to selecting, in camera AF point expansion in this case 9 points. If you're wondering about the settings, why , why ISO 6400 well this is because the light at that time was dull and to stop the subject in flight requires fast speed. In hindsight, the f-stop could have been or even or the ISO 5000 producing a shutter speed of around 1/3000 sec but you go with what feels right to you the button presser and hope for the best. One other thing to consider is exposure the bird has a large amount of white about it, so I have underexposed by 2/3rds of a stop.
