A new take on BIF

[Valvebounce]

Hi Islander.
I have watched bats in flight and concluded they would be impossible to track, if you only think it was difficult your technique must be several orders of magnitude better than mine! Congrats on this shot, getting one in frame must be very rewarding indeed.

Cheers Graham.

Here is my contribution to bats in flight. Caught this cutie near a small pond at around sunset. His flight was so fast and erratic it was very difficult to track.

60D - 100-400mm, at 190 mm, ISO 125, f5.6, 1/1000 (shutter priority)

Based on the actual offset of the shadow, it was moving at a vector of about 120° then...as the shadow is not directly behind, it's offset to a about a -35° angle. That seems a little odd...but, eh.

And then, of course, you have camera shake, wings flapping etc etc. Another one without any shadows...

I jus gotta say that these are some awesome bat shots.

You guys might want to contact Bat World and see if they would be interested in some of these fantastic shots.
