Oscar The Osprey Is At It Again

[Scott Whaley]

I went back out to the lake this morning to practice using the back button focus on my Canon 5D mkiv. I used to use it all the time, but I let my wife use my camera when she and her sister went to South Africa a few years ago and I never set it back. Back button focus is really handy when photographing flying birds. I got lucky this morning as I spotted "Oscar The Osprey" hovering over the water looking for a meal. He was quite a distance away so I had to really work to get what I got. Here is a time set of photos I was able to get. The photos actually get much better the closer to me he flew. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
