Red Squirrel Jump V

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks ...
a different approach to the jumping Squirrel , even more difficult to capture ... I have to learn hard lessons with these guys . I have not been able to get consistent results when using AF with these jumping guys .
I do have no idea what I am doing wrong , tried all sorts of AF settings with both R3 and R6 II ... the AF was not able to follow the animals through the jump .
So next time I will try to prefocus half the jumping distance and then fire ... to hope for the best , LOL .

Canon EOS R6 II
RF 2,8 400 + 1,4 TC
Tripod

F 5,6 ; Iso 10.000 ; 1/3200 sec

Processed with DT 4.6.1 and PSCC 2024 ; quite a large crop for my circumstances to about 65 % of FF , the focus was not bang on the eyes and the DOF falls short ... so I monkeyed around to create some artificial sharpness .

Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous postings

Cheers Andreas
