ヤツガシラで手振れ補正テスト

ヤツガシラ1羽いましたが、車内から撮れない場所にいたので、車から降りて手持ちで撮ってみました。

エクステンダーの1.4倍とつけていたので、840mm。それでもほとんどぶれなく撮れました。やはり、EF 600mm F4 IS  II USMの4段分のイメージスタビライザーと軽量化は伊達じゃない!!

It was perched in a tree with a nice background. Better than a lawn backdrop.

This one has a slight subject blur.

Handheld at 1/320 s. With that much shutter speed I could get, nearly every shot was a keeper.

It showed no sign of flushing, so I took the tripod out of the car and shot from there.
