This is one of the last images that I made on the last day of the second Gannets Galore and so much more workshops (June 7, 2024) as I was saying goodbye to the colony for another year. It is a great image to demonstrate just how perfect the Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens is, especially when paired with the Sony Alpha a9 III Mirrorless camera. I was capturing 120 images per second at 318mm as I zoomed out while the Gannet flew towards me.
