Hi all,

Here is my first post on this forum. I hope it works correctly.

I have been trying to photograph birds in flight for several weeks now and this is my best attempt so far.

Feedback and comments welcome.

Thanks

Austin

Sorry Major,

I was concentrating on getting the upload correct that I forgot the basics.

Canon 1DMKIII, 130mm ( 70-200 lens ) , f9, 1/00th, ISO 200 + flash + patience.

Thanks

Absolutely wonderful timing and sharpness. You might wish to tone down the highlights in the stem a little, but this is really a stunning image.
