Feathers at the Falls

[Hoppy]

These images and the rest on your web site have got to be some of the best bird shots I have ever seen!!!!
What shutter speed do you like to use for the inflight shots?

If after years of practice I get images half as good as these I shall be well happy, If I cant I shall give up and stick to bike racing images and the odd airshow!!!
Many thanks for the inspiration.
Ian.

Thanks everyone, sorry if there is a misunderstanding, I posted these with my wifes ID accidentally..

Hoppy.. I usually use aperature priority, set it at wide open.. 5.6, then set the iso at 400 - 800 depending on the light, and fire away.. spot meter also.

I hope for shutter speeds od 2000 + to freeze the wings.

Thanks for the help. I wanted to give it a try today but the lake at the bottom of my street is covered in fog and I couldn't see a thing :er: . Hopefully tomorrow
