Z6II Birds in Flight Part 2 - Long Overdue

This time I'm showing how I captured small birds in flight with the Nikon Z6II. Barn Swallows are amazingly agile. Can the Z6II's autofocus lock on to fast-moving birds? How can you photograph birds without bird detect Ai? I only had 30 minutes at sunset to conduct this test and get the photos. Let me know what you think.

Yup, you want to test the life of your shutter, stick to swallows in flight! I got a couple on a tidal creek about a mile from my home & on a pond elsewhere. There not shy. Every now & then they would take a break & land within 5’-8’ of me on wall where of a walk path bridge or trees. But when they feed, they’re where the insects are. Rite after them is the Kingfisher. All that matters is that you’re happy with your setup. A1 down to 400 in focus or keepers total including things like position, etc.? Either way, that’s a 2.5% keeper percentage. Happy shooting.
