 According to the reference I have, a porpoising Adelie does 15 mph. It seemed much faster--I'm guessing it took a good bit of a 70 hp Yamaha to stay with the bird. Getting groups is relatively easy, but one bird in the frame was hard as they're submerged I'd guess three to five seconds for every half second they're above water. There's no sign where they will come up, and you'd need to shoot before they break the surface to catch them in the air. I only had one opportunity like this (i.e., Zodiac matching the speed of a fairly close, parallel-tracking bird, and this was easily the best of the lot, though not what I wanted. Weddell Sea off Paulet Island, Antarctic Peninsula, EOS-3, 400 DO, 1.4x II, 1/1500, f5.6 (evaluative @ 0, same as white +1 1/2), Provia at 100 and unpushed, slight crop from left and top. |
