It's a great image, fotoi.
Love the fireworks as well, John.

I hardly ever do bursts, but with the theme in mind I did and put a sequence of consecutive shots together in a composite.

That is so cool looking, plus the fact that you picked one of the most difficult birds to capture in flight. Wonderful work.

Thanks, Mike. Appreciate your comment.

Excellent shot Levina ...... you get more fps than I can with my 5D3!
These little guys move so quickly. Nicely done.

Thanks, Ian.

The 1D4 does 10 fps but for these crazy little birds that's actually pretty useless. Unless they're a bit further away, like in these shots, which I took specifically for this week's theme. When they're close (which is what you want: a frame filling bird, well, as much as possible anyway with these birds that fly like they're on acid), you can press that shutter for as long as you like, but they'll be long gone after the second or so shot!
