Flying High...

After a fun photo weekend, I just wanted to remember a few things about taking photos of birds.
1. Wait for it...it doesn't so much matter where in the shot they are as a matter of what they are doing.  Post crop is your friend.
2. Duals to the death are always interesting.
3. Use Shutter Speed Priority mode and set your shutter speed to be fast.
4. Never be afraid to get too close, the worse thing you'll get is a photo of a bird flying away from you.

    hi Colleen! I love these pictures! Especially the expressions on those pigeons' faces.

    Thanks, CF. They need be cropped...I just threw them up there...I think they'd be more interesting that way. PS I really like your latest macro shot!
