Birds in Flight Photography - Tips on Focusing and Flocks (Canon)

When it comes to Birds in Flight Photography, Ducks are one of the toughest subjects! In this video I show you the techniques I'm working on and share my tips on photographing Ducks in Flight. I mostly use Large Zone AF for flight shots and sometimes Eye focus. Let me know in the Comments if you have any special techniques for photographing Ducks - both individually and in flocks. I'm using a Canon R6 - often with an EF 500mm F/4 Lens, and sometimes with a 1.4x Extender too.
