Hi all,

This is my first attempt at birds in flight. It wasn't planned but the balcony of our 12th floor room on Hamilton island proved excellent for bird photography.

Pity the skills were not so excellent Taken with a Canon 40D and 70-200 f/4L IS

Comments and Suggestions welcome







Thanks for looking

David

The limited DOF on 2 makes it a real winner, great captures from your balcony

#2 stands out for me as well. Nice work.

Thanks guys

Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to, I can't claim selective DOF for the second - It's motion blur

The second is my fav as well.. The background complements the subject...

#2 is my favourite as well. The motion blur on the wings gives the photo an action feel, while the head and eye are nice and sharp. The background has more interest than an empty sky, which I like.

with all of the above. #2 is a winner. Great work!!

Well done !! I like all three, good feather detail in #1 and lighting in #3, but, agree with the othesr that the star of the show is #2

Nice spot too isn't it.

Another vote for #2.
That is a great shot.
Regards Colin

Yep, #2 rocks.

Thanks for the kind comments guys, much appreciated.

Hamilton is a great Island, plenty to do and see. The amount of birds is pretty impressive too (the feathered variety, that is )

#2 is sensational David. Now you're flushed with photographic success, so don't get too cocky.
