Pre-capture to get a complete take-off sequence and just luck to get a complete landing sequence...

Very interesting sequence. I've never seen this process so clearly illustrated.

Thank you Joshua for this marvelous sequence you captured.
Let me ask what camera parameters you used, e.g. FPS.
Also are those continuous images, or did you skip some?
Thanks again, K-H.

PS: With regards your French culinary delights did you also try grenouille? 👍

Thank you, K-H.! The only file I skipped is the very first frame and the frames after the falcon landed otherwise it was a complete sequence. I cut off something from the falcon in the first frame although it could be AI generated but I ended up skipping that one. The sequence was taken at 20fps. So, from start to finish as posted, it took only less than 0.5 second. BTW, I did zoom in during the first few exposures to get the falcon in the frame. You can see the change in FL in the exif data.

Grenouille as in frog legs? I was exposed to the Asian-style cuisine of frog legs first before the French-style. And frankly, I like and prefer the Asian-style better 😂

Impressive captures, Geoff! I took pictures of kingfishers recently and I know how fast they fly. I deliberately underexposed my captures and went as fast as 1/3200sec and still the lowest ISO I could get was 12800, using the same gear. Oh, well... The Eurasian KF is quite a bit smaller than the belted KF here in California, it seems.

Here is a sequence of the KF coming out of the water but too bad, it didn't catch anything that time around...
