Costa Rica also provided some incredible bird in flight opportunities! Here are a few of my favorites from the recent Wildside Nature Tours workshop.
I used the drive mode SH2 (50 frames per second with continuous AF/metering) to capture these images. I hadn't used this drive mode much prior, but wanted to put it to the test. It passed with flying colors!
