A1000: Flying juvenile night heron at Wuxing Park, Changzhou, China!

It's probably my first time to do BIF so successfully with the A1000!

Method: It has to be a sunny day, and you have one or more herons or egrets flying over a pond/lake over and over again (so that you have many opportunities to try). Use S Mode, ISO 100 (maybe 400 will be better, allowing higher shutter speeds), 1/1000s shutter speed, manual (wide) AF area mode (a big AF box at the center of the screen that you can aim at the bird and half-press shutter-release to set focus).

I'll do more BIF than kitten photography from now on!


S Mode, ISO 100, 1/1000s, 1.7x crop (2711 x 2033)

An outstanding achievement, congratulations my friend!

Happy shooting,

Augustin

Excellent! I never considered trying a BIF shot when I had my A1000 so I'm impressed by your success.

Excellent photo! The A1000 is not built for shooting BIF, so this is a great example of what the camera can do.

Excellent.

A testimony of what a photographer can do.

SOOC version, just for the record:
