And then there's panning correctly to follow the critters!
Ive started to test JKs assertions and today been 'chasing' seagulls over the garden. In addition to giving myself neck and upper arm muscle cramps I have discovered that while tracking, keeping the bird in frame with focus locked on....you have to remember to fire the shutter.
I pretty much had the AF sorted for birds with the D3 but the D4 is subtly different so I need some more practice, and better light.
Following Kites can be interesting because they tend to travel in circles that drift with the wind. Try panning as they go directly overhead and you run a serious risk of falling over!
Today isn't a day to experiment, it is raining and there aren't any kites about.
