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.

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
