Hi all, have been busy lately so not on here much. This is one of my first attempts at birds in flight so C a C welcome, unfortunately he was a distance away - shot with my Sigma 120-400mm,hand held (not that steady)

1/500, av 8, iso 100, focal length 400mm

Hi Harry,

Nice composition and colour.. I think the photo is a little soft.

Birds in flight are so challenging and my project to learn to do well this year. I've learned that using a higher iso and shutter speed helps, and I read and view all the bird in flight and bird postings on this forum to learn more.

Nice to hear... Thank you.

Thank you. I too, don't feel like I'm qualified to comment but so many people have helped me with thier comments even if it is to say that they like the photo or not, so I'm trying do the same.. And it makes me think which I hope means I'm learning.
