Still working at getting the hang of capturing Birds in Flight. Here are some that I took over the past few days.

    You're getting there, keep om working on it.

    I know this one photographer who is very passionate about BIF captures. He spent one year on it trying to perfect his technique. He took over 100,000 shots during that year. His BIF captures now are amazing.

    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!"

    Hi Bob, Small birds are tough to capture, your pigeon and Goldfinch are better than many I have tried. Like Harry said, if you like shooting BIF's the more shots the better. All of a sudden things start to fall into place.

    I went out the other day and shot 150 shots, not a burst in the bunch. I came home and viewed them and trashed every single one. Some days you're on and some days not but keep on shooting even after the off days.
