Garden bugs at 20x slow motion

The flow of life among bugs in our backyard appears to be more interesting if seen at a slower pace, say at 5% of normal motion speed.

Filmed in available light using a Sony RX10 Mark IV at Paranaque City, Philippines, December 29, 2017.

Focal length = 220 mm (600 mm equivalent), 1/1000 sec, f/5.6 - f/10, ISO 400, manual exposure, hand held, AWB, 1824x616-480 fps capture automatically upressed to 1920x1080-480 fps in-camera, then post-processed to 720/23.976p (20x slomo).

Little Heron in flight

This is a common water bird, though it's not often that I see it flying in the open. It normally takes to the air in a low trajectory, making it a tough target to catch given the short flight and the featured background. 

With the plain sky behind this BIF, it was fairly easy for the 7D MII to capture the subject in the air.
