Originally posted by Sandy View PostPretty much went with the Panny on your recommendations ...thanks again. Ya, birds in flight (BIL) is a real challenge and my success rate is actually quite abysmal, but I am getting better with practice and many failures. LOL. Things I've learned the hard way are to set up the camera to use the back button focus feature so you focus once and the camera does not try to refocus every time you lose the bird in the viewfinder. Hard enough to track and find BIF with a long lens let alone when it's completely out of focus and the focus is hunting all over the place. Spot focus and meter ...obviously. Over expose about 1.5 stops or even go manual so the background doesn't blow out your metering if it picks the sky instead of the bird. Easier to get detail out of a slighly over exposed picture than to try and pull detail out of an under exposed one. Shoot at least 1/500 sec and let the camera figure out f-stop and ISO ...a grainy shot is easier to deal with than blurry one. Anyway, BIF is still definitely a work in progress.
Back button focus is the best thing ever. Just started about a year ago. Huge help.Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

Lucky I guess. Only one to hit the focus, and the light from the sunrise from the side (the flower was straight up - I was shooting straight down).
Went out yesterday morning, took a bunch more....nothing as good. LOL.....

You guys sure post some super high quality photos. There's a big difference between finding a good photo opportunity, which I'm fairly good at, and taking a good photo, which I'm not so good at.
Speaking of photo editing, I had some fun with this one. Some friends and I went for a ride a while back and the fellow taking the pic got left out. We were just keeping our social distance, not intending to have that space filled, but it worked. I fixed that and we all had a laugh at the result. It was a rough cut with the mouse using the paint program.

While hiking through an area to find some waterfalls, I found this guy sitting around waiting for smaller ones to float by. I noticed he had some pretty large whiskers up front so I assume he's fairly old
