Dove in motion

[jeffashman]

I'm experimenting with trying to capture birds in flight.

Ok, so this last one isn't actually a dove, although she made a valiant attempt at imitating one. Some dummy forgot to change the speed, so it was captured at 1/400 instead of 1/1000.

you've almost got it in the third one, just a little bit faster shutter speed and you would have nailed it. i'm usually around 1/2000 - 1/3200s. birds in flight are pretty tough to get. be sure to check your af modes, one might be better than another on your camera for capturing birds in flight.

Birds in flight you will need a minimum of 1600th of second , nice tries......

I like #1. The spread wing framed in the hook actually gives it an artsy feel to me.

Your shutter speed might have been off but your timing was perfect for #4. In fact I think that tiny bit of motion blur actually enhances this photo.

Nice shooting.

I like the last shot the best.
