Nothing to write home about but this was my first attempt at trying to capture any bird in action. Wow; do I have a newly acquired respect for those awesome posts I have seen here. Trying to get get sharp focus alone, with the movement happening so fast is crazy hard. I may just stick to landscape photography

You did well there, yes it is challenging but be warned it is addictive as you persist to get that killer shot :D

That's a real cracker for first attempt CB. Nothing wrong with focus on that.

Seagulls really are fantastic subjects to practice on. When you've got the birds down pat....try DIF....( dragonflies in flight ). Now they're fun !!!!

Thanks, it was fun but at the same time somewhat frustrating.

Thanks everyone; that morning I think I was able to have two just ok keepers out of about one hour of trying and about 50 shots. I think I need to do some more research on my mode settings etc and technique.
