Hi Will, may thanks for the kind words and yes you will, hopefully 'fill your boots.' Thanks for asking first before booking, and perhaps next time dates may dovetail.
A couple of things to note:
- There are a variety of perches already set-up, what I used may or may not still be there, the wall isn't, it's off to the right, but occasionally they do perch on it, so you might get a few frames.
- Set the camera to Electronic and leave it there, forget Mechanical.
- Cards, I assume you have a CF 256, preferably bigger ie 512, but you will fill it in the day so make sure you have some spares! or take a laptop to download too, that should only take a few moments to copy across. Just make sure they open on the drive, as I have know folk to transfer files and then wipe the card and haven't copies across.
- Don't chip (review images) unless you have additional fully charged batteries.
- During quiet times review your Histogram as light changes and you can be ready.
- The Kestrels are completely wild, but will often tolerate your presence when you go out to the front, within reason. I've had them on that stump 25m away.
- Don't forget to get the shots YOU want, then change format and remove or add the 1.4. You will hopefully shoot truck loads, 75% crap, 25% keepers to then drill down.
- Flight, you will get to a point, but keep SS up 1/3200 - 1/4000 and forget ISO!!!!!!! If you need help later in PP and I can help, just call.
- If you are coming down on the A1M, there is a nice bottleneck as it joins the M1, so subject to timing it might be congested for a short while, both ways.
Anything else you know where I am. :cheers:
