I have long wanted Pre-Release capture. On previous trips to Africa, I have tried numerous times to capture the beautiful lilac breasted roller as it flew off its perch, never getting a good result as the bird is so fast. Here I am today in Botswana and we found a lilac breasted roller. I was at some disadvantage, as I was using a 600mm lens in Dx mode, hand held, and the vehicle had started to move when the bird flew. And lighting was not perfect. Here are the results. Not the sharpest image and I did do some sharpening using Topaz Photo AI.
