Default In honor of Beach & Vin

I now appreciate the work that Beach and Vin produce with flying creatures. This is not easy but I learned a couple of things today and as Vin always says you have to practice to get good...so I'll keep practicing

An awesome capture! It's like you've captured "reverse motion"! Looks like you've frozen the bird, while capturing moving grasses behind. Love it.

Nice work Brendan, I was shooting some of these yesterday, Canadian Geese which I will post soon. They are difficult but are amazing when done right.

That's a great shot. The motion is very cool, and I love the colors. Doesn't look like you need any practice!

Uh...this photo falls into the category of "first efforts"? Dang, Brendan, you're either leading a charmed life, you've found your calling or you are one lucky man. I'm personally favoring "A". This is a fabulous photo--you even have catch lights in the eyes! Beautiful. Florida shot?
