Magpie in flight.

Well i think my panning is getting a little better. I'm certainly getting less and less shots out of focus (my first attempts were dreadful ), just wish i'd spent my money on a 500mm instead of this 300mm but at the time i wasnt expecting to enjoy bird photography so much. :bang:



Big crop @ 300mm, F7.1, 1/1000, iso400

Well I must say, all other things aside. You have captured the colours on the wing nicely

That's a nice shot Chris, brilliant angle and capture, i can't get near 'em, as soon as i open the car door they fly off ! Any tips where to hide or do you just stand around an area waiting for a flypast ?

Love this Chris. Loads of these in my garden and can't get a bead on them at all. Going to steal your settings if I may?

Great capture, you have discovered the fundamental rule of bird photography... your lens is never long enough

It was a 'flypast' Graham I was actually standing in my back garden taking a shot of a sparrow when i caught sight of this.
