This was shot at Nam Sang Wai in Hong Kong using a XF100 coupled to a Canon EF 400mm f5.6 lens using a DMF Showtime adaptor. My appology that the video is a little long.

That was pretty cool.
Reminds people of the patience needed when seriously capturing wildlife.
Look forward to seeing more.
Cheers

Awesome video again! Do you happen to have a picure of your xf100 mounted with the 400mm lens through the showtime adapter?

Great stuff but do we have to wait for a sequel to see if the heron survived its meal?

I enjoyed the mud-skipper activity in the background too.

This is a shot of the original rig, the support plate has now been made shorter
