Great you stayed with the bird, something a real photographer would do. More so than an amateur would more than likely click one and that would be it. A well done series as a keeper for your files. cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jayanand Govindaraj Sent: September-18-16 11:33 PM To: Leica Users Group; PSM Subject: [Leica] Cocoi Heron Fishing Sequence This ten frame sequence is my favourite of the three or four I managed to photograph on the Pantanal trip. There are gaps in the frames, not because of the camera's inability to track the subject, but because of my inability to keep the subject centred on the frame, with the result that parts of the bird are clipped by the frame. Anyway, I had ten good frames, so I ruthlessly discarded the rest. The bird was quite close, so this is all practically full frame - two or three have been cropped by 5-10% to try and keep the framing more or less similar. That this was a big heron, slow enough to keep track of through a viewfinder, made it relatively easier to photograph compared to the fast and maneuverable hawks. Nikon D500 with the AF-S Nikkor 300mm f4E PF ED VR lens, wide open at 1/3200s. The camera was on Auto ISO, so the ISO varies marginally from frame to frame.
