We also saw Pin Tails, I know you changed from Canon to Nikon and now to Sony and that you are loving the Sony equipment and AF especially for Birds In Flight. Some of us (me especially) may not be as financially blessed to move on to other gear and the like. If you could also mention tips for Canon gear and how you would handle or be ready to take advantage of certain situations with Canon gear and what settings you might be sitting on to anticipate the expected upcoming action. Button settings for quick changes, AF settings for fast approaching action and the like. Your teaching is wonderful and much appreciated. Thanks again for all you do to help us in becoming better photographers. Be safe and have loads of fun!!!
