Home Forums Gear Photography Flight challenge

Cookie has taken on the challenge of capturing birds in flight. Cold, wet, and cloudy for the last few days, but she scored a few.

Bald Eagle just after take off


Forster's Tern -- Seemed the greatest challenge as they bob and weave to no end. About 1/2000 sec for shutter speed and hard to track with a big lens. Damned near got sea sick with my efforts.


Red Tail Hawk also on take off


Seems one takes hundreds of images and subsequently deletes about 99%.
