https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Redtail-Hawk-SF-Bay-Area-California/m-p/455679#M4197 <P>I'm using an R7 body and RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens for wildlife/action. Not sure of the settings without going back and looking at exif, but my initial setting for BIF is 1/2500s, 400mm, f7.1, Animal Eye "on", Auto ISO with an upper limit of 12800, I think I'm on AF scenario #2 (could be mistaken), mechanical shutter (due to rolling shutter on the R7). With a slow moving bird I can adjust my shutter speed, but with a shot like the dive bomb I probably didn't have time to adjust my shutter and was just trying to keep the subject in frame. For most other photography I use either an R6II or and old Sony AR72.</P> Wed, 10 Jan 2024 04:01:49 GMT Mitch_P 2024-01-10T04:01:49Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Redtail-Hawk-SF-Bay-Area-California/m-p/455414#M4193 <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Coming in Low" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48696iDA7A06C5F2E2B97F/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="1I1A2788_1200px.jpg" alt="Coming in Low" /><span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();">Coming in Low</span></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Dive Bombed" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48697iA1EB842301BC0EEE/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="1I1A2797_1200px.jpg" alt="Dive Bombed" /><span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();">Dive Bombed</span></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Redtail Portrait II" style="width: 666px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/48698i1C6AFB195E8F9A31/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="1I1A2844_1200px.jpg" alt="Redtail Portrait II" /><span class="lia-inline-image-caption" onclick="event.preventDefault();">Redtail Portrait II</span></span></P> Thu, 11 Jan 2024 17:52:30 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Redtail-Hawk-SF-Bay-Area-California/m-p/455414#M4193 Mitch_P 2024-01-11T17:52:30Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Redtail-Hawk-SF-Bay-Area-California/m-p/455419#M4194 <P>Hi Mitch_P,</P><P>Great shots.&nbsp; Please let us know what gear this was shot with and settings <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Tue, 09 Jan 2024 04:22:21 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Redtail-Hawk-SF-Bay-Area-California/m-p/455419#M4194 shadowsports 2024-01-09T04:22:21Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Redtail-Hawk-SF-Bay-Area-California/m-p/455470#M4195 <P>What Rick said, settings help others when taking similar shots.
