Since administration is encouraging posting images on the main photography Discussion site I believe I will start posting there also with a photo lean to them.
Lets see, please note that this image was taken with a Sony a1 (best camera on the market today) that should elicit some nice responses.
It was taken with the 200-600 zoom lens, (sharpest zoom lens on the market today) this should get some discussion also.
I like to take my meter reading off green trees which reflect 18% of the light, just like a gray card. Then depending on the color of the bird I under expose using manual one to two stops. Although on all white birds I might go even more stops.
On this shot I pre focused on the branches so when the Male Great Egret came in with nesting material I was ready to shoot and my Sony focusing system was set to Zone and it picked up the male in a nano second.
Shooting at 30 fps and I chose the shot that best described the situation.
Boy, this was fun.

And if I shoot 30 frames a second, I have 15-30 times better chances of getting a decent shot, right?
There's a name for that.


Video?

What program did you use to look at one frame? Was the video an avi or mp3 file?
What was the file type of the single image?
Thanks for your help

I may have missed it, but didn't see where the OP said it was video. Some cameras including the Sony a1 that the OP used can shoot as 30 fps.
