These are terrific. You are so lucky to live near so much avian diversity.

All the pictures in this thread are so good, let me make a fool of myself. (That, and I really like that small punk that lords over my backyard).

Mital, I am so very glad that you join and are sharing your images with us. I have been in awe looking at all of your posts, but didn't have a chance to comment till now. Also, I agree with you about Olympus C-AF being behind competition particularly Sony and Canon. You sum up nicely about potential issue with keeper rate due to EVF refresh rate and IS. For this reason, I set my camera to prioritize frame rate over IS and always use high EVF refresh rate when taking wildlife photography.

Anyhow, looking forward for more of your terrific images.

Cheers

I have taken a demo kit for donig some good content creation although i am late on season with most migration is starting to return back and its hot summer here now started.
I am observing some points and will fine tune to get this thing work best for bif and static. Hopefully I may sum up certain situation or settings with a month testing .

Btw i have got one question since you mentioned about the evf refresh rate. does the frame rate high did any betterment ? I have tested EM 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1x with that option On/Off and i felt on all bodies there isnt any diff at all which I could have felt honestly in output. And my Priority is on Frame Rate over IS always on all the bodies.

Just got a thought that with these discussions here on image posting hope i m not violating any rules.

Honestly, it helps but I notice better hit rate when I prioritize frame rate over IS. EVF high refresh rate helps me noticing focus confirmation (green dot) as well as where the focus box on the subject better as I track the subject. However, for a very fast moving subject such as falcon or swift, it becomes irrelevant for me.

With someone as skill as you, I am sure you will eventually find what works best for you. However, I don't think you can expect it to be as good as the like of Sony or Canon AF system as those are class leading IMHO.

I wont be comparing OLY with either Sony or Canon as they are all in a 1" sensor game which makes them at diff level too.

I didn;t know about the refresh rate or frame rate impacts on BIF. Will try that out. Thank you!

The Eagles Nest
Not the sharpest but I will take them .
Found this yesterday while hiking along the river bank . Along with 25 other photographers (LOL)

Very nice. This makes me want to hit the road to my usual 1.5hours drive wildlife refuge. There are 3 bald eagles couples resident and they would be doing the same as in this photo ;-).

I think I will wait another week for my back pain issue to full goes away. That two weeks of -10 to -25C caused me a lot of issue and I barely touched my gear until recently.

Greater Spotted Eagle with a frog in the Claws. Frog was alive during the whole flight i could hear its deathly voice before the eagle perched on the nearby tree and the end of the life of a frog.
Shot with Em1X + 300f/4
