I raced 42 kilometers in a Nordic ski race today (Mora Vasaloppet), and came home tired. Thus I was looking for a bird assignment for my 365 day project which would not required me to move around much! I decided trying to catch birds in flight from our window seat while looking out at our feeders was just the ticket. I had been learning about a different way to set and lock the focus. Using this method I would anticipate where I thought a bird would land, and then move the camera a bit to the left or right to catch them in flight. I’m please with my first efforts, but still need more work.
