6 shots in row of a starting kestrel with 16 pictures/second, withdrawn. Over all about 300 ms.

Olympus EM 1.2 with 4/300 + 1,4 Konverter, so 840 mm compared to 35 mm. It is really remarkable, how fast movement of the wings is.

Very nice shots! It would be helpful if you post them directly to site so we don't have to go to a link though.

I use the same system, what are you using for your raw converter?

Thanks,
BOB

When you started the thread, just below the box is a button saying Choose Photo I think. You have options for borders, etc and can caption if you want, and can add numerous shots.

Beautiful photos!

I'm surprised the site doesn't import the photos. When I post photos here, I almost always upload them to my website, and then post the links; the photo appear on the FM page.

Wonderful captures. Is this a Kestrel? Every time I see one it is on a wire.

I prefer the third, forth and fifth shots. I think my favorite is the fifth. Nice work!

Thank you all for your kindly comments.
@MedicinMan404 - yes it is an European Kestrel
@birdied:
It was a great luck, to come close to the bird with the car, and that the bird did not fly away, when I stopped. So I had the time to prepare my camera with the "long rifle" and then I could shoot through the opend window free hand. The pictures are only cropped a few, and free hand I was able to follow the bird when it started. The setup was not pro capture mode, but I used the high speed electronic shutter at 16 picts/s and C-AF and aktivated 9 fields in the middle. You see it at the bird yet sitting on the branch: one little branch is still in front of the birds head, so the branch is sharp, but not the birds head. But when the bird take off, C-AF worked perfectly, keeping the head sharp.
The interesting fact with these shots is that they so are a follow up of 62,5 milliseconds between each shot, and so one can imagine how fast the action of the birds wings are. Only such a high speed camera can achieve this.
