This was a first for me so I was happy getting a few resting shots.
The stretching was icing on the cake. I tried for a few to get flight shots to round it off but failed as the sun was a bit high and I had no time left to shoot before church.

Nice shots. What did you use to shoot it with?


I take horrible pictures. I think I need a more expensive camera.

Thanks.
Those are 2 different birds.
I used my 7d and 100-400L.
The bright sun hurt the shots but they're not bad.

Thanks again all.

Im actually pretty sick of the blue sky. It seems all my shots have blue sky, but I'll take it over the cold and dreary weather the rest of the country is in.

Also, I notice the blue sky looks noisy on Flickr but not on my originals. Odd.

A wonderful series, the stretching shots are extra special.

Thanks Steve and Lester.
I would have nothing worth sharing if not for the stretching photos.
