These were shot on Saturday Jan 29. Not sure how long these guys are going to hang around but it is fun while it lasts.

It's too bad getting the wings clipped in this one.

My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

The last image is definitely perfect.

The flight shots when that close can't be easy.

Awesome! :shock:

You guys definitely need to carry around two bodies. :lol:
Although, now that I think of it, that won't necessarily guarantee a clean flight sho (no clipped wings)t, either, since it happens so fast you probably may not have time to switch cameras anyway. : confused:

Hmm, I just had a thought. How about stacking two cameras, one on top of the other, and working them in tandem? :mrgreen:

Really good shots. The first is amazing, the last looks perfect to my eye. I'd crop number 3, and it would be great.
