Birds in flight
The skies above Skomer island were very busy this year

I had a lot of bird in flight shots on my hard drive that were either badly composed or a bit small in frame so rather than bin them I kind of recycled them into something a bit more useful

I cut and pasted the birds onto the background of the centre puffin to fill it's emptiness.
I resized and flipped some to make it look a bit more believable.

Minolta Dynax 7D
Sigma 50-500 EX

All hand held

Different and creative...I could see something like this being one the Guardians newpapers guide to seabirds.

Very cool!
The perfectly-even spacing is a give-away to the "cut and paste" thopugh.
Still a very nice image!

Well executed Geoff, you must have a very big Hard Drive mate! Love the Puffin with 'no legs'!(centre left).
