Taken today.

Mickr,
Super capture! Would it be possible to provide some details about this picture? (ie: Shutter priority, Speed 1/500, f/6.3, ISO 400, 600mm). These information are helpful. I have friends who are interested in getting the Sport version. Thanks!
Cheers,
John

In the order that you've asked, Aperture Priority, 1/640, ISO 200, 600mm. F7.1 and spot metering which you didn't ask about.

Thanks, Mickr!

Hands down beats any kite shot I have managed with my 70D and 400.

Chris I like that coot but think the one in your stream where it is stretching its wing is a better image.

Is everyone keeping the OS permanently switched on? The guy who took the Red Panda shot I linked to seemed to be saying that he was using the OS with a monopod which I would probably do too if it works

 

[KC Foggin]

Not this exact lens but the SIGMA 80-400/4.5-5.6 DG OS and I leave the OS on all the time whether hand held or on the tripod with great results.

I've tried all OS settings over short periods but mainly keep it set on 2. Once the weather improves I'll probably try them all for a day each and see what works best. The shutter speed should be about 1000 at 600mm and I'm going down much further than that but did the same with my old lens which didn't have OS.

Do you change between modes?

 

[KC Foggin]

No change. I always shoot in aperture priority mode. I never shoot in any of the other settings

hi
yes i leave the os on when using the monopod on number 1 but dont use it on a tripod
