Practicing with my new Z 800mm lens in the back yard, a Red-bellied Woodpecker.

Very sharp where it counts. The back has some blur but other parts in the same plane are sharp. Was there breeze or ruffling going on? That lens must be a beast but no more cropping for you.

Thanks Steve. Yes, he was on the move from the feeder with a morsel, about 25 feet away. I shot it hand held at 1/2000 shutter speed , plus I had the camera in DX (1.5) crop mode, effectively filling the frame at 1200 mm. The 800 lens on my Z9 weighs a tick over 9 LBS so it could be attributed to the combination of the bird running up the branch and my shaking?

I like the dancing red bellied here. Nicely timed. As I said, other parts even in the same plane are sharply focused so probably not camera shake.

The Z9 focuses on the eye so since it was so close, other parts of the bird are not as sharp at f/6,3

Allows Edits? YesI really like this second one, the blur doesn’t bother me as it adds to the sense of movement, and I just realized this is a throw down.

Nice work Ken and Robert. I’ve yet to get a decent shot of a woodpecker.
