Man these guys are fast and can change direction anytime they want. And was this fun :clap
After seeing great shots from Steve, Jeff et. al. had to give it a try.

My 1st shot at this kinda BIF only fair lots of pretty background piccies, but no BIFs :D
Here's what made the cut:

A Single

Looking for a fish

A Double
23484988-M.jpg

Almost a Triple :D

And guys the only way I can see to get their eyes is to wait till they rest :D

Let me end this flyby with what I think may be my Sig. Butt shot (BBBIF :lol)

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Good shots, Ben. After the boat trailer knocked me down, I messed with shooting some terns. Little Bs to catch, so I think yours are great.

    Gosh I haven't worked up everything. Will post my terns, in a tern, my tern for terns................have I over used that word enough, smile.

    good shots.

    Now, please, all, I have a butt shot up, only angelo has commented so far. I worked very hard on the presentation. Please look at it. Then please respond, just sign your name, so I know who has been there, long comments are not needed, but ............butt............

    Nice series Ben thumb.gifthumb.gif


    Aren't those lil buggers quick? :uhoh Not to mention, small....lol

    Yep, they are fast like a jet and change direction so fast you can easily lose them in the VF ne_nau.gif Using full zoom, I usually wind up with a third of my tern shots being of a small piece of wing and bare sky....lol

    Nice egret butt too.....lol
