I haven't posted much lately,have been busy with life.Especially teenage daughter life.Anyway i decided to give the budgies a good clean out of their cages and toys etc.I let them have a fly and play and tried to get some flight pics.

Chipy flying,Rocky on curtain rail

 

Poppy flying

 

I thought this one is funny,Chipy doesn't look impressed how Rocky almost took his head off with her wing

 

Rocky got stuck to the lace curtain

They are AWESOME photos!!! I love in-flight photos!! what camera do you use ?

Great shots! I too love the in-flight shots! You have very nice birds

what setting on your camera do you use to get such good motion pictures??

First of all I apologize for not resizing properly!Have fixed it now.

what camera do you use ?

I have a nikon D80 SLR.

You have very nice birds

Thanks,there not actually mine but my kids birds but since I pay for all their needs and wants I get to play whenever I want.(Laughing out loud)

what setting on your camera do you use to get such good motion pictures??

I set my camera on a high iso setting,also tried the auto setting and sport setting.I am still learning about my slr,but its fun!

excellent shots do you have a panning mode too? This is where it gets the object in motion but the back ground is blurry this is on top of the sport mode too? I ask because I got a new camera and it has this mode I have yet to try it.

Hi FGM,

 

Fantastic photos... now that they are resized maybe a mod could change them back to posted images.. it would be a shame if people bypassed the linked images.

 

Nice work. If you have upped the ISO maybe try the sports mode on the Nikon... no flash, so you need good light conditions... you can get some nice images that way.

Hi Kaz,

 

I think if you refresh your screen they will resize. Because they still have the same name your computer will recall the photos from your cache' because it is quicker.

I fixed it Feathers and FGM, the photos are showing, thank you for resizing

those are great shots.

Now the photos aren't showing

Oh well,apparently I do have the panning mode,haven't played with that one yet!There is so much to play with on the camera sometimes I don't know where to start.

Don't feel bad (Laughing out loud), I tried to get flight pictures because of your pics and couldn't get one and now the shutter is too slow : so have to figure that one out now.

They are beautiful

They are awesome photos! Your budgies a gorgeous .

Thanks guys!

Great shots! I love the first two, the colours and textures are just lovely.

 

Try having the flash on - this usually reduces the shutter speed and decreases blur. You might wash out colours or it may be too dark if you're far away, but experiment with it, it works for me.

FGM,

 

can you repost the 3 missing photos using the IMG code? They are such good photos.. I'm sure everyone would love to see them.

Poopy looks amazing when he is flying ... the color of him/her/it by your camera .... (Laughing out loud) I can't tell what sex any bird is by their names. He looks so different in a close up shot then when he's flying in that picture.

 

Beautiful birds all of them. Great pics.

I love Rocky he has gorgeous markings....wonderful pics :yellowhead:

Poppy is a boy but hatched on remembrance day 11th of november(11) at 11:00am,hence the name poppy!He is an absolutely gorgeous colour of blue and was one of my first babies I bred when I had my aviary.

I love Rocky he has gorgeous markings....wonderful pics

Rocky is a girl,when she is not in breeding season her cere has a light tinge of blue,but she has layed eggs before.She got named Rocky as she was sold to me as a boy.

Poppy is a boy but hatched on remembrance day 11th of november(11) at 11:00am,hence the name poppy!

 

Perfect. I love names that have meanings... and this one is very special.
