This is what I consider a sequence of fair difficulty for 1DMkIIN AF Servo. I say \"fair\" and not \"high\" because the mitigating factor was that the bird flew slowly. If that was a pijun/dove instead of a gull, then I\'d consider it \"high\" difficulty on the camera\'s AF system.
The lens was 500 f/4.5L, handheld.
I fired 5 shots at it in AF servo. One went to the background, one had poor wing attitude and the third one was only marginally focused. Those I\'ve discareded. I\'ve kept these two.
The first image is full frame JPG unprocessed....the first image fired in the sequence.
The images #2 and #3 are somewhat processed crops.
I\'d be very happy if 7D can let me do something similar. I hope it will, for a pretty good price too.
They are for practice (gulls, they are slow and predictable). Eagles don;t move slow and close rocks and choppy water are more challenging than trees and grasses pretty far in the background. Look at the background in yours and mine. Yours is a lot more OOF which means it is less likely to grab the focus. Sorry, not a good example.
