Hawks

[Britman]

Taken yesterday at the hawk conservancy centre.

Very nice action shots! How do you stop the blur?

[Britman]

I set the camera to Av, aperture priority and then set the f# to f/4 and f/2.8. Had to adjust the ISO on some shots to keep the fast shutter speed, over 1/500.

Some good shots there Britters - the next to last one is great. I'd try and clone out the jesses on the eagle in the last one, and tell em it was coming for you

[Britman]

I'll give it a go. I'm not really that happy with the Owl in flight shot. It's not very sharp.

You can't get em all - AI Servo is your friend for those ones, then it's a bit hit and miss

What lens did you use for these Britters? These are really good - sharper than you'd expect. I've a Canon 75-300 USM jobby but my attempts at hawk shots didn't come out as good as this

[Britman]

for the flight shots it was the canon 300mm L f/4 IS and the others the 70-200mm L f/2.8 IS
