Joel, properly selected DoF and exposure, nice BIF shot again!


Rich, wow, nice nice shot!, i like the pose of the bird and blurred background! un-cropped?! you must got really close to the bird and seemed! like the bird would hit your lens in seconds!

[Richard Lane]

Thanks JJ!


I have a few other nice shots in this sequence of the bird flying right towards the camera, with the AI Servo of the 7D doing a really nice job of tracking the action head on.


Should I post a few more from this BIF sequence; wings up, wings spread, wings down?

Should I post a few more from this BIF sequence?

why not Rich?!, don't worry too much about what other people is thinking, if somebody don't like it, they can just simply ignore it.


BTW, maybe I will crop the bird a little bigger so we can see the birds eyes more clear. I believe properly exposed and sharp eye(s) of bird is the spirit of bird picture.
