GBH with fish

Stopped by a local pond on the way home this morning and found the resident GBH feeding. I have seen him/her several times, but never while hunting. These guys are quick! I would have him in the viewfinder waiting for him to strike, and by the time he did and came back up with a fish, it was too late for me to react. I then machine gunned him trying to get a flip! I give a lot of credit to those who capture the flip... It's hard! My feeble OOF attempt is at the bottom of this post...

D2H, 500P, TC16a:



Does this qualify for a flip? At 8fps, the fish was already completely in the mouth and not visible in the very next frame!

 

Thanks Jason.

Yes, all four AF systems work with the TC16a. The amount of focusing w/the 500 is pretty much a fine tune adjust, but it makes all the difference for me.

 

Thanks all for the nice comments, and especially for giving me the flip! :biggrin:

 

Thanks for the nice comments guys. That flip is much, much harder to get then it looks!

 

LOL! I'd fill the buffer trying to anticipate the flip and still miss it!

Thanks for looking!
