Small Birds in Flight - Table Bay Nature Reserve, Woodbridge Island

Small Birds in Flight - Table Bay Nature Reserve, Woodbridge Island Cape Town
Small birds in flight in the Table Bay Nature Reserve close to Woodbridge Island / Milnerton Cape Town. A morning that started with lots of blue sky and perfect conditions for birds in flight changed very quickly to an overcast and rather cool morning. Some of the birds was at quite a distance and to compensate for the low light (for autofocus) I used Single Point AF for better in-flight results.

All images by Vernon Chalmers with Canon EOS 7D Mark II and Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM Lens - handheld in overcast / poor lighting conditions.

Canon EOS Camera Book Recommendations Cape Town

I currently use the Canon EOS 6D, Canon EOS 7D Mark II and the Canon EOS 70D DSLR's as my go-to photography bodies (paired with a variety of  Canon EF consumer and professional lenses).

Snapshots to Great Shots Book Series
Before acquiring any of the Canon EOS bodies I did extensive research in terms of the detailed specifications, functions and other body-specific criteria. Soon after getting each body I also acquired the relevant 'From Snapshots to Great Shots' series book to learn more - and as future reference guide (together with the Canon user guides).

I have found these books of great assistance and made detailed recommendations on my Canon Camera News website. Each Canon EOS book below will have a link to the more detailed recommendation.

On all the original book recommendation pages are useful links to a variety of other online camera / photographic resources (specific to each of the three Canon EOS bodies). 

Availability (Hard Copy / Kindle / PDF)
The From Snapshots to Great Shots series should be available from Orms (Cape Town / Bellville), most local Cape Town book retailers and / or online retailers such as AmazonPeachpit and Takealot.
