I am looking for help to make my bird photos better. I am using a Canon R6, with a 100-400mm 1:4.5-5.6 IS II USM. I can’t get to get sharp photos- I am still learning and would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
John

Hi John,

I'd be glad to help you improve your bird photography with your Canon mirrorless R6 camera. Can you send a photo along to me so that I can evaluate it?

The two major causes of a lack of sharpness (mild or pronounced blur) in bird photography is movement and focus. Both of these have a few aspects you can explore, but I'll know more when I see a sample of one or more of your photos with the R6 and 100-400mm lens.

Thanks,
Bruce
