One from earlier this spring. White crowned sparrow on Koreanspice viburnum. I long had a goal of making a songbird photograph with the appearance of a Japanese screen painting, with that classic gold background on silk. This is the closest I've come. I'm not good enough at photoshop, but I've always wondered whether there is a way to overlay a silk pattern onto the image so that a print on paper would indeed look like it was on silk.

Man what a haul, and just in one day! More than I get in a year!
The Swallow and the Pigeon (I think it is a Pigeon, we don't have them here) are wonderful wonderful.
The so maligned Riv....not in your hands Geoff.

Took my second trip to the bridge to try again at cedar waxwings flycatching. Still a total newbie for BIF with the new A9. This time I added the 1.4TC to the 200-600 to try to get closer, but of course that made tracking even harder as these guys are jet-fighter fast. They also stayed farther away than I was hoping, so these are extreme crops. Nevertheless it's fun to see them catch the flies. These 3 are 3 adjacent in a 20-fps burst, giving an indication of the speed of approach.

What were your focus settings for this series? Today I was trying f8, 1/800 OSS on mode 3, AF-C wide and AF-C zone set to animal eye-AF. It was doing okay tracking a dark lab mix and some chickens (not picking up their eye though). I was using mid-drive burst.
These shots you posted are incredible! It's great to see the A7RIV having some consistency.
