I have just been filming in N Wales and a Red Kite flew past me several times so I got the D800 in action locked on focus and took several un-sharp pix!! Not my normal type of photography so I was not too upset it just made me aware just how good some of these wild life photographers like Andy Rouse are.
I have always been frustrated when ever I try to shoot anything in flight, bird especially??? I know how to shoot race car, fast motorcycles, and the occasional airplane, but put feathers on it, and I'm lost???

And because you are shooting against the light you need to give it +2 EV and it moves fast and sometimes erratically.
Just shows how each different type o photography has its own tips, tricks and learnings.
