House Martins
This is one Hirundine I have had difficulty in catching up with these little birds. They always seem to fly higher than the Swallows. Tonight good numbers were flying around the house so I connected the 300mm lens with a two times converter and fired around 250 shots to get these. Hand held swapping between VR and no VR out of all those images the shots below are the best, the rest are terrible.

You couldn't have picked a more difficult subject. 4 out of 250 for effort.
ReplyDeleteSorry Sam that came out wrong it should be 250 out of 4 for effort.
DeleteWow - These are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Sam, nice shots don't think VR would of helped you here pressing the shutter will activate the vr if it is on, recent tests have indicated you need to press and hold the shutter 1/2 way for a short time 0.5 secs to allow the VR to activate and stabilise otherwise it will be ineffective. So by the time the VR is fully active in theory the Sand Martin will be in Devon, lol
