Cormorant
Had a successful morning with these chaps, finally!

Managed quite a few frames that i am pleased with {regarding decent focus}.

Its a different story, regarding which ones will be suitable to print though, as the strong/directional light will make many of my frames with wings on the up-beat, a bit tricky to reveal underside detail.

Fortunately i managed a number of frames with wings on the down-beat, so i'm happy with that!!

Hi Alan,

Cracking in flight shot. Having tried and failed to get these in flight I can appreciate how difficult this was to nail. Everything is spot on.

Regards

I would say you should stick with this shot. The detail and colour here is brilliant. Forget the underside. If you have a perfect shot, don't bother trying to improve/recover lesser images. Would be very, very happy with this. :toast: :toast: :toast:
