So, I don't have anything fancy.. just an old coolpix S9100.

Liquillo beach, PR.

I loved PR. When I was at San Augustin looking back at El Morro I was able to get some cool tilt shift effects with the little neighborhood there below the wall. I'll post them if I can dig em up.

Love the owl pics....

 

[Severum]

Love the owl pics....

Thanks. The year was a bit slow for eagles, but owls are making up for it. We've been lucky with unusually sunny weather and greater numbers of owls than usual. There have often been 6+ in flight and passes within a a few meters have been common.

 

[Bayouboy]

Severum, your pictures are always terrific. What autofocus do you use when shooting?

 

[CanadianSaint]

You guys should be watermarking these, they are amazing.

 

[Severum]

Severum, your pictures are always terrific. What autofocus do you use when shooting?

Thanks. I usually use single-point AF in AI servo with a few 7D2/5D4 body specific tweaks beyond that. For smaller BIF I'll often go with center point for focus and tracking accuracy and crop for desired framing. If I'm targeting larger birds up close then I'll consider framing ahead of time or adjust the focus point while tracking.

Which body are you using again?

I picked up a grey market Canon 5DIII. It's fantastic, but I'm still learning all of the features. I just don't shoot enough, unfortunately.

Really cool shots boutte!

Thanks Gump.

It was a great morning for shooting with the fog and all. Been wanting to do this for years. Finally got my lazy but up and got down there before sunrise.

I really need to get a camera with better low light capability. I like my t1i but any thing above 800 iso is just too noisy. Full crop cameras are out of my budget though.

Yep. I got a Rebel T5 last year for Christmas. I love it so far. I got to post some of the pics on here.
