Letter of the Month

I don’t often write to magazines but
felt compelled after your great
article, The Apprentice, on how to
photograph birds of prey, in
PhotoPlus 155. I’m a keen twitcher
and try and take photos from hide’s
of the birds far away with my Canon
7D Mark II and Sigma 150-600mm
lens, but often struggle with my
focusing and obtaining sharp, much
like your Apprentice Ian Hamilton.
I’ve since adjusted my AF points
and started using AI Servo AF, with a
much better hit rate. I’ve also been
trying to make sure the backgrounds
behind the birds are less cluttered so
they stand out better.
I only wish I could gain such
close-up access to the wonderful
birds of prey you photographed!
Thanks again to you and your
Canon professional photographer,
Guy Edwardes’ top pro tips!
