Thanks Ambrose, it really is a game of patience and luck to see an Osprey in flight there. Best times are on an incoming tide and early morning or late afternoon
Just out of curiosity could the tracking focus issues be related to your focus/release priority settings? I'm not familiar with Nikon stuff (I'm a Lumix shooter)
I sold one of my z6II to buy the z8, IQ of z6II is very good when taken in High ISO than the z8 but because of autofocus capabilities of z8 I mostly use the z8. For me z6II with z8 autofocus would be the ideal wildlife camera.
@@CharlesNPhotography even I am looking forward to sell my second z6II to buy the z6III if it has the bird eye AF that way I will have my backup camera z6III with 100-400z lens and primary one with 500 PF & z8.
I also trried BIF auto area AF with subject tracking, but for me it was a complete disaster, so I stick to wide area (small) with best results. At the end of the month I will trade in my Z6ii for a Z8 and hopefully better results.
great technique Charles. I never seen Osprey in flight at Osprey house. probably will need to spend some times waiting for it.

@CharlesNPhotography thanks Charles for the tip. have you visited Toorbul Bird Roost? best time is 1 hour after high tide.
Just to like to know
For air show Which one to use
Matrix or centre weight or spot
Thanks
I prefer to use centre-weighted, has this gives me the best chance to get the aircraft correctly exposed.

No! When it comes to photographing birds I don't have focus lock before the shutter activates.
Many thanks, great teaching skills
Thank you very much and glad it was helpful! 🙏

Yes, I really like to get the Z8, but it's out of my price range. I'm hoping that the Z6III has bird-eye AF and if it has I'll buy one

@@gyalbobhutia2825 If I was to change today, I'd be buying the ZF, as it does about everything that I want. And the Z8 is out of my price range.

Thank you and that's why I also stated that I generally use wide area AF (small)
