I read your article about taking flight photos and it inspired me.I took my daughters bird Chippy out for a fly

and ended up with this beautiful photo.I use a flash but cover half up with my finger.

Here are some that I did in my aviary.

Hope every one likes them

:ausb: Those are FANTASTIC shots! Unfortunately BrokenDreamz has left the forum but she would be happy that you found her tips useful. :bluebudgie:

Well done! Great photography

I think I had a very productive day myself.Thanks guys.Husband says I have some sort of photography disease as I have to use my camera at least once a day.(Laughing out loud)

I know that feeling... I have a digital SLR... another 5MP camera, so that I always have one with me (the SLR is too big to drag everywhere), and I just got the latest Sony Ericsson 3.2MP cybershot phone as you can never be too well covered for the "wish I had a camera with me" shot.

 

Photography is more than just a hobby with me. I do actually have a degree and do some paid work occassionally.

Sounds like you would have some great photos.I have a canon A85 but would love a SLR.Maybe next year.Thanks for the replies guys.

wow what awesome tips on photographing birds in flight! I swear I take a zillion pictures all the time of my kids (both feathered, four footed and hooved) and it seems that out of those zillion pictures, well okay, out of one full digital camera thingy say 400 pics about 3 or 4 are truly excellent. the rest are just silly or cute.

 

It definately takes patience! I have applied some of the in motion tips to photographing my horse and they really work!!
