OK well yesterday spent time doing still photos of easy birds here - see image one of the Brimstone Canary at the National Botanical Garden in Cape Town SA
Birds in flight much more fun with A1 especially Albatrosses since they have such a large eye the A1 finds easily. (By comparison, a female African Paradise Flycatcher, that lacks the male's blue eye-ring, gives the A1 fits [but it would give the Canon/Nikon mirrorless versions fits too]. See images #2-5 of the seabirds.
All images with A1 and the 200-600 zoom in Lossless Uncompressed...perhaps the lossless uncompressed (large files) at 20fps caused the blackout problems I experienced on the 2000x 128 GB card.

A few from Saturday when the number 1 college football team in the country paid a visit to Tennessee. They definitely look like a number 1 team. Some very large bodies. And some very fast ones too.
These are with the A1 and 400 2.8GM. Mostly at ISO 4000 to 5000 and 2.8 and 1/1600 to 1/2000 or so. 330pm kick off and lost the sun to full shadows and sunset not too long after.
These last two are from a long ways away, maybe 60 or 70 yards and I could have cropped them even tighter. Resolution is one of the things I absolutely love about the a1.
Some shots of cormorants shortly after sunrise this morning and some eagle shots taken this afternoon at Conowingo, the eagles were pretty far away so these eagles shots were HEAVILY cropped, thank God for the 50 MP of the A1. It's still unusually slow at Conowingo.
