Hi Martin.
Having sat at the Desert Botanical Garden Phoenix some years ago watching these little fellows flit around and failing to even get one in a picture, I dof my cap to anyone who can even keep up with these quick little beggars! Nice shot, well done.
Cheers, Graham.

Hi Martin.
2 very nice shots, love the action in the Peregrine shot despite it being from the rear and the Magpie is great.
Cheers, Graham.

Thanks for your comments Valvebounce. I have mixed feelings about the Peregrine due to rear view but thought the tail and claws gave it enough interest to swing it...

First attempt Neuro? Pretty nice. I like sequence shots, haven't tried one myself yet but I think I shall.. I think I'd like to try and shoot for 5 images.. So how do you feel about the image? Any suggestions for time delay between each snap or just shoot from the hip?neuroanatomist said:

Thanks! I think it's ok, yes - first attempt and there are some flaws if you look up close (but perhaps hard to see at web-size?). It wasn't really a sequence at the time, though all the shots are of the same great egret. Here are the source shots, I connected 1 and 3 with some canvas added between them to make room added a strip of canvas above, then took just the egret from shot 2, flipped him around and dropped him in the middle, putting a couple of blades of grass 'in front' of him to blend him in a little better.

Yes, I'd agree that a couple of things are very slightly noticeable or perhaps more aptly put, bring in question or 2 but overall, very nice first attempt, I like it.neuroanatomist said:Krob78 said:First attempt Neuro?

The slight items that I noticed at first glance were the similarity between the small clump of grass in the water, in the first shot and the third shot. I had just noticed the same basic strands of grass dipping into the water on the left side of the clump.
The color change of the background in the center of the middle bif, had me wondering a little bit but only ever so little, as we all know sun, clouds, trees, etc., unseen in the background can change the lighting from one spot to another in the subject area of the image. It just looked a bit straight cut if you will but not un-natural, if you know what I mean.
I think it was a great first attempt, especially as you said a "quick" first attempt. I definitely feel some inspiration seeing this example to go out and try something like this myself. I've seen some other sequence images in the forum over the years and there is one or two other individuals that really excel at it. Seeing you attempt this as well, gives me some encouragement to go out and give it a go! Thank you for posting this one. Very helpful.

Very nice 2n10! I love how the ambient light just brilliantly made his eye pop, revealing the nice blue color, very sharp, Very nice!2n10 said:American White Pelican
