BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

[candyman]

A somewhat smaller bird. 5DMKIII, 300 2.8II w 25mm ext tube, 4 flash units set to 1/128 power, f11, 1/250.

Beautiful! What was your distance towards the subject when you took the photo?

Here's a photo of the set-up. Looks like ca. 2-2.5 meters from image plane to the flower vase lure. I'll post another one with them at the flower.

Thanks for sharing it.
You must put some effort to get a really good photo and it is worth it!

Two more hummers: first one is w the flashes to stop wing motion w set-up described above; second is a natural shot w 600mm II + 1.4XTC + fill flash using better beamer and high-speed synch at 1/1000 and f8 - doesn't quite stop the wings. The first technique requires a lot of patience and sitting (the camera is manually focused on the lure and you just push the remote when a bird visits), while the second is dependent on rapid AF and framing a fast moving subject.

Great shots Vern. I'm in love with the first one. Well done.

I really like the Canada Geese picture. It seems to be in 3D. Nicely done Cog.

Thank you, Click!

It would be interesting if we were to know how many pixels that we were looking at.

My gull is a crop to 4545x3030 resized to 1800x1200.
The geese is cropped to 4307x2872 and then resized to 1800x1200.
