The last thing you see before you die!

@JimsPhotos@ohai.social spectacular!
@JimsPhotos@ohai.social Both of those are amazing. I see them very often, but how do you get shots like this? And what sort of equipment would you use?
- @derickr@phpc.social thanks.
  this one i took using burst fire (20 shots per second). Burst gives me a better chance of getting the birds eye in focus. My kit is a professional level body with 46 mega pixels (the more pixels, better the detail). But for me, a long lens is key, I use a 600mm f.6.3 prime, bringing the birds closer to me and meaning I can keep my distance from the subject.
  
  @JimsPhotos@ohai.social This is the best I can probably do with my gear, 300mm and 20MP.
