BIRD IN FLIGHT ONLY -- share your BIF photos here

Jack, only you can tell, but you'd never regret it, and at least it stops the drooling.

Nice shot, David.

Jack, only you can tell, but you'd never regret it, and at least it stops the drooling.

But if I'm no good at it then the drooling will continue. I think the 1D4 for 3 months taught me that it'll at least be a lot easier than with the 6D. I am serious about the 1DX II though since you can't take it with you and the end often comes sooner than one would like to acknowledge!

Here is one of the eagles with the 1D4 from this May. The perfectly sunny days at Haida Gwaii made it challenging with the white heads not to mention it was hard to know what their flight plan was.

Looks like an airliner just before landing. I really like the light passing through the feathers. Nicely done, Stuart.

Thanks click. Those were the first significant BIF shots I've done and I got to practice for nearly a week. Big and slower but still challenging for me. It was such a treat being around so many eagles. But those white heads - what a pain. Not so with the younger birds.

Another very nice shot, Jack. Well done.

There's another picture I would like to share. It is an African Darter in full flight - taken during a safari in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Africa. Quite a remarkable bird, the African Darter. Its plumage looks like fur (once it has dried after the bird has dived for fish)...

I really like this shot, snowleo. Nicely done.

Yes nice - I assume that a larger view is not possible. That's one cool creature.

Wow, especially the first one. I assume not much cropping on these.

Wow, especially the first one.

+1 Nicely done, Alan.

Thanks Jack and Click. I nailed both fairly close.

Quite a pleasing shot!

I must admit that in my feeble attempts at capturing BIF shots they have all come up woefully short of what I see routinely posted in this forum. Kudos to all the BIF-photo-sensei here.
