I am on Hilton Head Island this week and next. I rented a Sony 200-600 G lens and mounted it on my Sony a7C to take advantage of the excellent AF tracking.

The attached set is my first action sequence taken at 840mm (I used a 1.4 tc) at Pickney Island Wildlife Refuge, just next to Hilton Head Island. The set is one highspeed shot sequence. The quick PP was done on my laptop, not my 27" monitor, but I think I hit the right points. All shots are crops.

I would appreciate tips or pointers if you see anything.

Downloads are always best.

Except for the unfortunate “feet” choppers, these are excellent! Thanks for sharing!

Excellently captured series. Job well done.

Great action series. Now you can see why BIF are fun. One small criticism, all of the eyes look soft to me.

Looks like that combo served you well, Mike. The images are sharp for being at 80mm and of moving objects. That's a long way out!

Pretty good for so far out. Didn't blow the white out like I do.

Thanks, Jeff, I am using area focus to catch the birds. Once I am more confident, I will try the eye-focus approach.

It is giving me GAS, Ken. I may end up buying this lens.

I do appreciate those thumbs up, Ben.

Thanks, I find that working with "Highlights" in post-processing helps sharpen the white.
