Now for my mediocre attempt - as per my other post, Motor racing is really my thing so trying to get a BiF was more of a challenge than I thought - how does that work? I can get a great sharp shot of a bike doing 200mph but fair miserably when it comes to birds. . . . . Anyway, my efforts from today:

Shot with 1Dmk4 / 300mm 2.8 mkii and canon 2x extender all handheld

#1 - 1/800, f/3.5, iso 100, 300mm crop from a flock of?? (I'm a poet and didn't know it)

IMAGE NOT FOUND

#2 - 1/1000, f/5.6, iso 400, 600mm Gull - not sure which
IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO


#3 - 1/1000, f/6.3, iso 320, 600mm Canadian Goose shot that I actually quite like

#4 - 1/1000, f/6.3, iso 320, 600mm Tight crop from above
IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO


#5 - 1/1250, f/6.3, iso 1000, 600mm very quick 'grab' and tight crop, just caught him / her flying off with breakfast

#6 - 1/1000, f/5.6, iso 400, 600mm Quite like the background here

So, that's a few of the birds in flight I caught today, not 100% certain about them myself but I am my own worse critic.

Thanks for looking

.DAVID.

Quick post from yesterday, looks like another good Snowy season ahead.

QUOTED IMAGE

Superb stunning image of an exposure very difficult subject :)

A few from Conowingo, taken back in November.

Not sure why the images are not showing in my multi quote but the #2 of the pair posted is the choice one for me :)

There are some awesome shots on this thread, just amazing. But I haven't noticed one of these.

Could be wrong, of course;-

Becky. . . . . I love you and hate you all at the same time, last week I 'saw' my first ever KF, got an awful photo but still saw one. . . . so how many lifetimes did it take you to get this?

.DAVID.

Thank you David. Most appreciated.

But I LOVE your shots; amazing!!

And then the fantasic snowy owl. WOW.

Regards Becky
