BF Your air pix of birds are spot on I wish I could do that! Just been photographing Godwits in E Anglia with my new Nikon 80-400 lens on ground spot on but keep missing focus when they are in air. The D810 locks on very fast but in air I just keep missing the focusing hot spot.
Any tips would be super help please?
don't really know what to suggest graham ,if the bird is fairly slow then single point a/f should be o.k if a fast erratic flyer then multi point .the only REAL answer is practise till perfect then practise again .make sure all your settings are configured for b.i.f as well .
i find going to somewhere where seagulls gather is good practise a few slices of bread will provide a hour or mores target practice ,even better if you have someone throw the bread out for you
