Try turning off the optical stabilization. You don't need it at 1/2000 and it may be trying to compensate for your panning. Nice sequence.

Your hippo picture brought back a distant memory from circuses we went to as kids. The hippo trainer would get the animal to open its mouth wide & stick his head in! As a reward, he'd casually ...

Lovely set, Justin. I love the feeding red-winged blackbird. In the woodstork on the railing pic, you can see that the people are just as acclimated to the birds. The woman with the camera is ...

100% crop.

Thank you Snapa. The towhee is a non-cropped shot. I liked the branches, so decided not to crop at all.

Thanks Justin. It is our monsoon season and people were mentioning (not quite complaining) the humidity at a backyard gathering yesterday. Humidity was 39% with a dew point of 49F! We are spoiled here.

I LOVE that shot of the frog between the heron's beak. Great timing!

Thank you, Phil. This is an okay image so I didn't try anything other than LR. I have NIK which is better, but I've heard that the Topaz product is amazing. I Thank you. That wasn't my intention, ...

Apex park is near Golden CO. I hiked down the Enchanted Forest Trail (cool name) and up the Apex Trail. There were a lot of birds on the trail judging by the calls, but it is quite heavily forested ...

Beautiful set, Justin. The palm warbler looks sad :( or maybe pensive.

Cool installation. Beautiful series!

Beautifully! Perfectly exposed. Are those dust specs just above the neck of the bird?

Thanks for the response - yes, it does answer my question. Coming from the a7iii, you're already very familiar with the focus & tracking modes, but if you wish to get some pointers... Justin ...

Wow! Quite a project. Congratulations!

Very nice sequence. If these are uncropped images, you've done an amazing job of keeping the bird in the frame. Are you an experienced BiF photographer and just come to the A6400? Love the last one.

I like your final edit (the one where you reduced saturation a bit). Thanks for taking my suggestion in the spirit it was intended.

Nice images! Good to see that you're able to visit the wildlife parks during the pandemic.
