Must be great to find rare birds in flocks, rather than a solitary vagrant. Owls and owlets can surprise with their camouflage.

Nice shots. What kind of predators do the geese have in Delaware? Migratory geese to India (Greylag and Bar-headed) are preyed upon by Greater Spotted Eagles, Imperial Eagles, and Steppe Eagles. ...

The 200-600mm is a fast-focusing lens as far as zooms go. I don't face too many issues in stills with eagles flying head-on if shutter speed is fast enough, OSS is off, and technique is good. Howev ...

Are you planning to shoot the video handheld? Usually a video fluid head and some practice helps in recording flying birds with the rear LCD, given reasonable distance and speed. Adding a monitor ...
-
Hehe yes. With all those specs, an APS-C will be quite expensive. Who knows, I might end up buying an a7v and an extender once the a6400 reaches end of useful life?
-
Thanks Joachim! Sometimes even the birds we ignore show us flashes of beauty.
-
You are right. After the original post, I did realise that the dream camera might be more expensive than a middle-of-the-range full frame camera. I know, but this is a pet idea. If you have ...
-
DR: Sony drops the DR when in continuous shooting modes, but I hope greater processing power available now should allow them to provide full 14 bit raw files at least in some continuous drive modes. ...
-
Thanks Jose. I agree that high FPS would be a good addition. Hopefully they'll have it for the e-shutter mode at least. The FX30 is said to have a sensor with well-controlled rolling shutter, so ...

The Ibis says Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you. Larger sizes on my Flickr account. Enjoy your holidays!

I know this is a much rehashed topic that keeps coming back even after getting banished with 149 posts. However, the following list (in no particular order) is a result of my bird photography ...
-
You could activate touch to focus when looking through the viewfinder (instead of it being active on the LCD as well). It might help you get over the lack of a joystick.
-
Unless you have a lens that is sharp only at smaller apertures, you can just shoot in shutter priority. Anyway, if you want to do action photography, better go for later models. The NEX-6 will turn ...
-
No. Yes. NEX-6 was severely limited - it doesn't even have a custom setting. However it's a good camera for learning photography, shooting landscapes, macros, etc.

There are three leading brands of adapters available for using EF-mount lenses with E-mount cameras: Metabones, Sigma MC-11, and Viltrox (EF-NEX Mark IV). I have the Sigma MC-11 and the Viltrox ...
-
Quite sensible. This path would have had you spending many more $$$ without getting a commensurate bump in your experience or results. Exactly. Good decision minimising the damage. ps: I dropped ...
-
The Sigma DC DN 60mm f/2.8 Art lens has PDAF only on the centre focus point. I don't know why this is so, but it really constrains this lovely lens. Later lenses, including the 18-50mm zoom and the ...
-
What is the exact reason for your unhappiness? That is important information for someone to advise you. Firstly, have you checked if you need another lens, like the 70-200mm f/2.8 or the 100-400mm ...
-
I don't think focus peaking will give you accurate information about critical focus. Bahtinov masks are the way to go. That's all I know about this topic.
-
Most of us haven't even used the a6400/a6600 to their fullest potential yet. For a bird photographer, what they're mostly missing right now is bird eye focus. However, people have been taking ...
