Magpies vying for a spot

Generally colorful birds are not very difficult to make them look good in an image ... however, the "not so photogenic" birds (like Magpies, crows, ravens etc), are a lot more difficult ... but you made those Magpies look AWESOME by your talent, keen eye and timing ... great job ... hats off sir.

Here's a Northern-rough Winged Swallow with symmetrical reflection. One of the most difficult birds I've ever photographed from an in flight / motion standpoint. 5D III users set your camera to AI servo with CASE 5 when tracking this erratic flyer (if unfamiliar most swallow/swifts will have same rule of thumb when in flight)

Great shot revup67. I've taken pic's of the Welcome Swallow, here in Australia and any of these swallows can be challenge for both the photographer and the hardware

Hummingbird in my yard. Forgot to set the white balance after shooting in an ice rink. I decided I liked the cooler tones, and it matched the color of my walls.

Skatol, nice capture. Looks like something a painter would do with the flight in the background.

Thanks Jack. Just lucky timing during the burst shot.

 

[Jack Douglas]

Luck? I know all about luck. If not for luck I'd have few shots to display! But I'm sure you're persistent too, like me and it pays off more times than one would think. Keep it up.

Hate to be posting more of the same but I guess I'm stuck until maybe another month.

Very nice shot Skatol. I like the composition with the flying bird in the background.

6 FPS doesn't hurt either. Please keep posting. I get tired of my own repetitive images but enjoy seeing others. Beautiful detail. Gotta love that lens combo!
