Flying

More shots with the 1.4x extender but a little more taxing than yesterday’s due to the obvious motion involved. Using 700mm certainly highlights the weaknesses my panning technique. Big birds are comparatively easy as they are further away thus move relatively “slower” but trying to fill the frame with a flying pigeon and being steady enough to get it properly sharp is more luck than judgement with me at the moment, but it’s fun trying despite the massive failure ratio :)

Some details for those who are interested (8192x5464 original, all at 700mm):
Main: 6492x4330
1st Extra: 5921x3949, 12800 ISO!
2nd Extra: 6240x4162, 2000 ISO
3rd Extra: 6887x4594, 1250 ISO
