Formation flyby
Finally had chance to process some images from Slimbridge from 2 weeks ago.
Went to watch the Starlings and practice my panning with the new kit.

I like the birds similar position but not sure about the head crossing the other birds wing ?

D200
70-200 VR
1/1000
f2.8

Roll on Saturday :toast:

Hi, nice. I dont mind the crossing head as it adds a 3d "depth" to the image. I like the way the wings are spread.

I like this. The head crossing the wing doesn't bother me - in fact it seems to add to the symmetry. Nice lighting.

Its a nice image. Personally i would like to see seperation between the 2 swans but still nice as it is.
