Moment of capture. A Tri-colored Heron captures a minnow. Wakodahatchee Wetlands
Exposure info: Sony a1, Sony 600mm f4 @f4, 1/2000 sec. iso 2000.
In this action sequence I shoot at 30 fps RAW to get that "moment of capture". I always recommend my clients to shoot at the top of their fps on their camera's. You only need a second or so. Yes, you do end up with toss outs, but your chances of getting that "moment of capture" increases. It also helps to know how Tri-colored Herons hunt, then you can better anticipate when to open the shutter.
I also choose to shoot at 1/2000 sec. to get those frozen water drops. It would also aide me if I see a bird in flight going by a few seconds earlier or later. Wing tips can be frozen at 1/4000 sec.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.
Everything frozen in time. Beauty of a photo & thanks for the great shooting info!
Beautiful shot, beautiful bird, perfect timing!
Excellent capture Bill. Will need more than that small one to fill him up!

If 30 fps is good, how good is 120 that you get with the 19III. I can hardly select my keepers at 30 fps. Considering your shot, at 120 frames per second, you basically have 4 of those images to choose from. The other claim to fame of the a93 is the global shutter. Funny, I don't see any affects of a rolling shutter in your image. You refer to "your clients". What type of adventures do you guide and can you provide some info? Thanks
