Congratulations Jonathan.

Thank you everyone

Right back at you! Love that osprey shot. You nailed the shutter speed, and I'm guessing the R5 autofocus gets the assist

Ha....yes...two assists were needed for that shot: 1) the R5 and Eye-AF; and, 2) taking advantage of the eye-AF, Mike (Busted Knuckles) had a hot shoe mounted gunsight. So, basically, I was putting the green dot on the bird, able to watch the whole scene making it easier to track movements and depend on the eye-AF to do its job. It did miss...but it is surprising how well it worked, including that shot.
