This looks so good. Did you have to crop in on the original or is this raw from the camera? I feel like tracking something moving quickly would be hard
Thank you, glad you like it!
I cropped in a bit, and it helps a lot that my lens has shake reduction (i used Nikon D500 body plus 200-500 f2.8 nikkor lens). And yes, it's hard to shoot fast objects, honestly it was more luck than anything, i normally shoot more stationary stuff :)
Lucky for you, lucky for us :)
I also have no idea what any of those lens details mean but thank you for the detailed response. I didn't know a lens could have anti shake, does that work similarly to a smartphone sensor's optical image stabilization? I guess you could compensate for movement with the final destination of the light or the path it travels through. I had never thought about it on a bigger camera, but when the sensor is scaled up that large, it would have to be easier to adjust through the lens than to move that entire sensor quickly.
