Incoming!!! Shot this one out the kitchen window this morning. Bird in flight unfortunately was just slightly beyond my focus point. Oh well better luck next time.

What a great shot Sandy!
I'd be very happy with that shot. Birds are very hard to get....
I really like that shot Sandy
Thanks for the kudos guys. Like Bob said, shooting birds is tough, especially in flight. The more I look at it the more I think the soft focus on the incoming bird works. Due to conditions and equipment I was limited to 1/500 sec. so even of it was in sharp focus there would have been movement in the wings. It shows that not all of the subject in a photo needs to be in focus all the time. I especially like the way snow with the bokeh effect resulted in a cool background and eliminated the neighbours house and fence that would have been distracting. The timing required for getting shots like this would be virtually impossible were it not for the high speed multi frame settings. A little burst here and a little burst there then see you what got. LOL.
I've been doing some work in a McMansion lately. It's not my regular gig but the $'s good. This house was built in the 90's and fell into some disrepair. Other contractors tell stories of marital problems and drug abuse being the cause. I figured I'd better get a picture of this before the painters came.
There was another on a different wall that said, simply, "I don't like you."
I hope the new owners have better luck.

I went to hit the like button, but there isn't one. :frown-new:
We definitely need a like or:encouragement: button on the forum. Beautiful shot, Trevor.
Hum, a different version of "reading the handwritting on the wall"......
Nice scene. Photo really shows clean shiny bike.

Wow... looks like it's in marker too...
We thankfully don't do much residential work, but the three that we do service regularly are huge mansions. One was built in 1886 and in a dark, unfinished area in the basement there are names of long dead workers written on a part of a plastered wall. The oldest I found was from 1915. I love finding thins like that.
I knew it 
+1 on that.
Great shot Glen. I really like what you've been doing lately with your low light photography. As the days get shorter I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks Sandy. It?s been a whole lot of trial and error, with error being favored. I find it difficult at times to get a nice lead in foreground especially when walks are away from town and there?s minimal lighting. In some ways camera time has mimicked my moto time as in my free time to work with the camera is at night. I have always been interested in night photography though so it works out. I?m becoming a bit of a cloud watching geek as I?ve found it very interesting how they react with moonlight, ambient light, light pollution, etc, and their effect on composition.
