- Support. 700mm and only 1/500th ... a lot better than what I've managed from boats. Did you have to take a whole heap of shots to get this sharp one? Benjamint 11:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- The 2 stop IS in the Canon 500mm f/4 IS probably helps. Purpy Pupple (talk) 01:01, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Probably 4/5 were sharp and a similar proportion for the kingfisher in calmer water (1/250th). The IS/Tripod probably helped, and the swell was not huge. The movement made it more difficult to keep the camera on target, but it was still considerably easier than trying to photograph seals in ~2.5m swell, 400mm f5.6 and a small boat at home was.

- Support amazing if taken from a boat. --Muhammad(talk) 03:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- Support. I was going to oppose based on the "distracting background", but I think seeing another bird there tells me something... J Milburn (talk) 00:08, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
