First attempt at Birds in Flight
 

Always fun to try something new. Here is my first attempt at Birds in Flight photography this morning. It's very challenging, I have a new respect for people that can do this - I have a lot to learn!

Dropped the tip of her wing right as I pressed the shutter - LOL

Fab... my favorite one is the half up wing, half down. The shadows, the line of her back and stretched out legs ... perfect!

Beautiful!

Thank you, I agree, that was the best shot, and I think it is also the sharpest.

Beautiful! Keep em’ coming! :mademyday:

Thank you. I will.

Wow! Those are excellent. Beautiful photos.

Nice work! I enjoy you posts. Thank you.

Great photos
 

What camera, lens and settings did you use. Great photos.

Just love your work - a truly gifted photographer

Very nice! Crisp and clean with good motion.

Great stuff. Keep it up. I look forward to it.

Great pics, you’ve got “the eye”. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Surely this is the work of a professional photographer. I find the clarity and the focus and the ability to capture these things the work of someone who did this for a living.

Are you from Arizona?

Nicely done, Grumpy. Keep 'em comin'.
