Nice capture! You had to be right next to him at 28mm!

Yes, simple technical description:

I shoot using 4 cameras, prefocused, on tripods, activatef simultaneously remotely. What one camera misses the other whould get.

What a great freeze! The bird looks as if it is simply hanging in mid-air, ready to pounce on.......on whatever.

Yes (patience) and thanks.

Being and getting into position is more important than many may believe.

I did a double take for 28mm -- I see this adapted to a GH5. Still must've been pretty close though.

**Lmcfarrin** · 06-22-2021, 06:20 PM

56mm equivalent - my camera is on a tripod, prefocused, activated remotely approximately 3 1/2 feet away

Well done.
