OK, technically this guy isn’t out for his morning jog, he was coming in for a landing and they sort of “run” across the water as they decelerate. It’s actually really fun to watch.
The trick with this one was that flight shots weren’t very frequent so you have to be ready to go from flamingo portraits to flamingo flight shots pretty quick. In this case, I had my memory settings on my a1 ready for just such a scenario. I have my “mode 1” settings on my top dial set for action, so when I saw this guy coming in, I just twisted to “1” and instantly had all my default action settings ready to go. Sony A1, 600mm, 1/3200th, F/4 ISO 160, Zone Tracking.
BTW - one of the comments got me thinking - do you think this is about the right brightness or is it a touch too dark?
