If this is the continuous output of your handheld shots with 400mm lens and TC, I have a question - how firm and long can you hold your breath while pressing the shutter button?

Simply amazing!!!

Beautiful in every respect. Superb clean shots.
On the other hand, just wish to know what part of the bird do you focus on while freezing.
The eyes can take in a bit more sharpness, I guess.

Krish, Canon made this lens for hand holding(1.5kg). As a matter of fact, this lens weighs a little less than half the weight of the Canon 100-400F 4.5-5.6L(3kg)
I saw Adisesha's 100-400 and he handheld all photographs in Purbasthali with ease.

Mindblowing work Rahil ! Liked both these images a lot.
Actually, the question of heavy lense or body handholding etc are popping up these days when photographers are more used to polycarbonate bodies and plastic made lense barrels. Think about those all metal MMM bodies with brass made lense barrel (question of IS or VR wasn't there) and people still made handheld shots with precision. The breathing technique used by sharp shooters (one deep followed by another deep breath and the third one exhaling held-up halfway).

TFS,

Yep right. it is light but the CAMERA BODY MKIII. is quite heavy and the balance is not equal hence sometimes i miss my shots.

Thanks for the comments.
