R5 - My first attempt at 4K120fps wildlife video

One of the main reasons I got the R5 over other models was because of its ability to do 4K120fps video. This is a fabulous feature for video recording wildlife, especially birds in flight.

I bought the R5 this October with the hopes of being proficient enough in time for the annual arrival of the Snowy Owl here in Ottawa which is usually a great place for Snowies. Unfortunately. researchers have warned us to expect very low numbers this Winter because the nesting numbers were quite low in the Arctic last Spring.

So far the researchers are correct. In the 20 times that I have gone out since the first Snowie sighting in our area a month ago, I have seen only one Snowy Owl. So I am having to make due with shooting the Crows. This is my first attempt at this and the results are not that great, but I'm excited. It's a start. I LOVE 4K120fps footage.

Cheers,
Rudy
