    Looks like you are getting the hang of this. Now we have to get you to Florida where you can shoot some birds as opposed to those winged rats. :D

    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!"

    The sun was going down and those gulls took to the sky when a man came down to the boat ramp with a bucket full of fish scraps.

    I should get plenty of chances over the summer to get more gull shots Harry, but the real gem would be getting a Pelican in flight.

    This Seagull was from the series I took last weekend .......I need heaps more practise for sure..... thanks for looking Harry....... Skippy (Australia)

    That's what I went looking for......usually there are a couple of Pelicans hanging around the boat ramp waiting for the fishermen to come back in and see if they can get themselves some scraps, but there none to be seen last weekend.
    Often you will see more than 10 sitting in a large group.

    Come summer you can hand feed the Pelicans at another coastal town just a couple of minutes from my place.
    Thanks for looking...... Skippy (Australia)

    It's not easy to pan with a flying bird I tell ya, there are very few keepers, but gosh if you get a goodie it was worth the effort.

    I'm sure the more one tries this the better one gets, summer is not here yet, but Spring is so I should get plenty more opportunities to try this out.

    All I need is time off work to give it a go rolleyes1.gif
