A couple of nights ago we decide to get Fish and chips, then went down by the Swale to eat them. Wasn't long before this fella and some of his mates took an interest. When the kids had had their fill they decided to put some chips on the wall top for them. So i then had a new challenge, this is the first time i've tried to capture birds in flight, think i know what i have done wrong, am still pleased with this first attempt![]()
All C&cs welcome
Thanks for looking

First time with birds in flight? Starting pretty high on the ladder! Not only very good images of a white bird but a sequence as well.
So you know what you did wrong? Guess you wanted less blur in the wings with higher ISO and speed.
These are very respectable photos. Many may think motion blur is OK. TG
Slightly soft but wonderful shapes, Den. I like the movement in the wings and the background shows the bird of a treat.
