Default Flying Birds

DSC_0078

I managed to get some quite good shots of some birds yesterday - the 1st is my favourite - possibly just because it's the sharpest

DSC_0073

DSC_0068

I'll have to straighten the horizon on this one
DSC_0112

Any comments or recommendations for future shots gratefully received

Thanks

Sheldon

Not sure how this threar resurfaced as I posted it in my "early days" back in April

I guess Windrider86 noticed it had received no comments so thanks for the belated ones which is a nice surprise

Awesome shots Sheldon. I have yet to master the art of capturing birds in flight and getting the clarity which you have in your shots. Great works of art.

Nice series of shots. I like the first one best as well, not only for its sharpness, but I like the fine clouds going across the sky at the same angle as the bird.
