I FINALLY DID IT !!!!

[battybirdie]

Can you believe it ............................

After 3 years of living with my Birdies ........................

I've finally snagged my first flight shots

I'm not sure if you're quite ready for such a high level of skill ( ), but here goes ......

I had to stalk Gertie around the house for about an hour to get these

The Fly By ...



The Great Escape ...



The Perfect Landing ...



I think Karens title as 'Flight shot Queen' might be in trouble in about 15 - 20 years from now

well done they are better than i can manage, i always seem to get a picture of a wall ! those tiels of mine are far too quick for me

[judy]

Trick is to aim the camera in front of the bird when pressing the shutter coz by the time the camera clicks the bird will be in shot.

they have an artistic feel about them

thanks for the tip Karen

[Admin]

well done batty great shots

[battybirdie]

The worst part is that Gertie is rubbish at flying and I still can't get a decent pic of her she flys so slowly that she's almost flying on the spot sometimes

Note to self "face camera into mid air and hope a birdie flys by"

Thanks for the tips Karen I'm hoping to get a shot in focus before 2012
