So long never shoot nature photos and log in here....busy with work recently. I just took some fresh air outside last weekend and had this shot. It took me about 2 hours to wait and obtained this flying fish photo. No kidding. Its really hard to shoot because 1) I don know when the fish will jump 2) I don know where the fish will jump 3) Fish jump up at super high speed and manual focus must be fast enough to nail it down. 4) I cannot pose the fish Camera : Sony alpha 700 Lense : 500mm Reflex lense (manual focus as i don have SSM lense)

The length is around there. Its not easy to shoot in fact. It jump up at high speed, must click the shutter and twist the focus ring very very fast.... |
