BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Thanks guys. Like they say it helps to be on good terms with the model, but even so they don't always do as they are told! :)

Between the 6D and the 1D M IV I'm just a little frustrated. I'm almost always on the edge of having adequate light, hence the 6D in this case at ISO 1250 for better IQ when cropping, but I now understand how folk always say that once you've handled a pro camera, others just don't seem quite acceptable. I really like a permanently lit focus point! If only the weight could be brought down. I hadn't shot the 6D for quite a few days and it's hit home that it doesn't allow for full hand gripping like the 1D M IV. So, I'm bracing for a financial hit when the 1DX M II has settled into the market. Never thought I'd become so foolish! :-[ Also never thought this hobby could become so addictive!

Finally achieved my goal of seeing and photographing short-eared owls.


Very nice series. Well done, scyrene.

+1 Isn't it cool to examine after the fact what is so fleeting when you're there in the moment grabbing the shots! At 14, many moons ago I mounted one of these (road kill) and it's still with me today. Never did find the ears. ;)
