BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

[Jack Douglas]

A Hobby was diving rapidly to catch dragonflies and then darting away. Getting a shot was quite a challenge but the 5DSR and 400mm II + 1.4xTC managed it. You can one of the legs bent forward, clutching the dragonfly.

Nice shot.

+1 Dragonflies - well that's a new one on me. Unique shot.

Here is a Bald Eagle right at sunrise. Very early in the morning at my latitude...

That's an amazing shot clbayley, with that lighting, pose and sharpness!

First time a I captured a bittern in flight. The 5DSR is a pretty good tool for this, despite its reputation of being slow.

Excellent shots of the elusive bittern! And "in flight", and with a camera not optimised for this work - so it must be the photographer 8)

Here's a couple of shots to stop this thread dying! A buzzard at 800mm on the 5DIV and a red kite at 400mm on the 5DSR (100-400mm II).

Second one caught the flight very well, but the background takes away the scene. I know, one can't control what's behind the subject. Still the egret poses splendidly.

It's been a long time since I've posted any pics... real life just kind of caught up, and no time for photography

I was very sad the other day, when I missed the chance to photograph two bald eagles duking it out with about 50 crows. It was one of the rare times I didn't have my camera with me, mostly because I had been travelling between work meetings all day and had expensive computer gear with me (and didn't want to leave my camera in the car). But happier when I caught a couple of decent hummingbird in flight pics
