I went to Werribee Zoo to photograph lion cubs, so I took a fairly short lens (50-150 GM). While I was there, I saw a raptor in the air over the lion enclosure, and snapped a series of frames of it. I was using the body in mechanical shutter mode, and the thok / thok / thok of the shutter in burst mode was not too loud (still a bit of a surprise after a couple of years of silence with other bodies).
The frame as shot: 50-150mm GM at 150mm, f/4, with the A7R VI at 1/2000, ISO 250, EC +0.7 (scaled to 2048 wide for this site) - no adjustments at all.
A crop at 100%: 2047 x 1384 from the full frame of 9984 x 6656 - just over 20% of the width and height of the frame:
One of the other photographers there identified it as a "Little Eagle" - not a species I'd seen before. Comparing this with images online, I think they were correct.
Think I may want to take a longer lens next time. Maybe the 300.
