    • It was very awe inspiring. I could not make my mind up look or shoot! I did better with the focus setting this time around. This camera continues to amaze me a burst can last for many frames – cool.

  1. Splendid! Amazing stills of the flocks! I really enjoyed the video. I can’t hold the dang camera still either when I shoot video, so it looked a lot like all my videos (minus the birds)!

    • I managed to figure out how to set up the focus for the continuous shots. The camera does 6 frames per second with a burst of up to 100 shots but the buffer fills up before I would ever reach 100 ;). I used the VR lens so I set it at 3fps or it out shoots the reaction time of the vibration reduction mechanism in the lens. I have never been able to hold a video camera without some wobble but the camera with lens and holding it out to see the screen – not so good results!

  2. Wow. Must have been awe inspiring. Creative use of, umm, salvaging the video with the stills. Glad you had a good trip and didn’t get shaken down on the farm!

    • It was very cool. The noise of the wing beats was thunderous. I used the vid even though it was out of focus to try and relay the sounds.
