Posted April 19, 200619 yr I decided to take some more pics of Goofy, so I share some that I've taken.... I'm just wondering how many pics is too many in one post? I hope I haven't gone over the limit with this one... cheers Goofy Flying... I'm giving him a lot of flight time to strengthen his muscles and also to learn to fly before I clip him for training.... here's another one of Goofy lying on his back in my palm again.. It wasn't luck that he did it the first time!!! This is him enjoying a bit of a scratch under his beak while lying on his back.... And Just a shot of him giving himself a good scratch!! okay, hope you enjoyed the pics. Sorry about the number flight pics. I just love seeing birds fly.
April 19, 200619 yr oh those are excellent flight pictures you need to give me TIPS - I can't seem to get any. Excellent pictures
April 19, 200619 yr Wow they are amazing.... wish I could do as well as you do with a camera.. Goofy is a stunning bird and your very lucky to have each other

April 19, 200619 yr I definately enjoyed them all. I love number 7. How did you get him to lie in your hand if he isn't tame? Cool!!!
April 19, 200619 yr "Nana Budgiebird" really enjoys seeing pikkies of one of her babies ( Lin...more pikkies please of Scuttlebutt ) . Absolutely LOVE the flight pikkies. Cheeta can you please post some tips on flight pikkies for everyone to have a try ? All I get is a blur. Goofy is a treasure and you are doing wonders with him. Very happy to see these pikkies and will show Ken later. He is impressed with the flight pikkies from last time. Cheers Karen
April 20, 200619 yr Author I definately enjoyed them all. I love number 7. How did you get him to lie in your hand if he isn't tame? Cool!!! That's one of my favourite flying pics as well. I love it. I got another one that I took from the top and it's not quite the same. Goofy is a very docile little guy. It's in his personality I think. I ahven't done anything to make him lie on my hand really, he just did it the first time I laid him there, and I've been doing it ever since.. us to make sure that he doesn't forget about it.. hehe.. He hangs like a bat too!!! WOW!!! Amazing photos!! I love the last photo, so cute! :hap: Thanks, I had to wait awhile for him to start preening himself.. and when he did, I just happen to snap a shot of him giving himself a good scratch!!!! I love the pics too. "Goofy is a treasure and you are doing wonders with him. Very happy to see these pikkies and will show Ken later. He is impressed with the flight pikkies from last time. Cheers Karen Thank you. goofy is a treasure. I hope Ken likes this lot of flights. You know Flight shots aren't that hard to do. It's even easier if you're trying to make your little ones fly for exercise... Just make sure you've got good lights, if not, Flash always is good. Set your camera setting to 'action shots' usually mark with a guy running kinda thing. what I did was basically had Goofy in my hand, point in the direction that he'll fly, get the camera to focus and hold it there without actually taking the shot and wait and then kinda send him on his way. When I see him fly by, I take a shot or two if I'm quick enough. Or otherwise I just click when ever I send him on his way... sometimes I get nothing, but sometimes I get the tail or just the head or half the body... but then sometimes I get the full shot!! It's great when I catch a good one. I do this for the number of time I send Goofy flying. He wouldn't fly otherwise, he rather spend his time at the bottom of his cage even if the door is open!! (Laughing out loud)... In the case of your aviary, have the camera ready focus already in the one area, and may be get Ken or someone else, or even yourself to send some budgies flying, oh I don't know... ummm 'scare' them a bit... hehe, not literally, but you know what it is that will send them flying. I'm sure you'll get some nice piccies out of that. May be I'll come over with my camera one day to your place and show you how I do it then. Easier that way.. hehe.
April 20, 200619 yr Author Sometime next week flight photos at my aviary ????? That's sounds great!! Wow - they are fantastic!! My camera doesn't have an action setting You don't need the setting really, it just helps. Just make sure you have the flash ready. Good luck. and Oh, thank you. Edited April 20, 200619 yr by Cheeta
April 20, 200619 yr I am SOOOO green with envy!!! I wish I could get shots like that! they are lovely!
April 21, 200619 yr Author Thank you everyone. :ausb: Goofy makes a good photography subject!!! No really, seriously, everyone can get shots like that!! seriously, it isn't that complicated.. Though i guess there's a trick to it that you gotta remember (I forget to do that sometimes and I get nothing but the wall!! (Laughing out loud)...) Most digital camera will have an auto focus on it, and generally they take 'a long time' to focus before it actually takes the photo, so by the time the photo is taken the budgie would have flown by already and alot of people just think that they are not quick enough when it's the camera that needs to work faster, not you.. .... The trick is, pre-focus your camera first and hold it there. Aim the camera to whereever you think the budgie will fly, when you know that your budgie is going to fly by, just click away, the photo will take straight way, no focusing as it has already been done... give it a few try...Some will turn out blurry some will be crisp... it all depends on where the budgie fly pass.. hence as you can see most of the flight I have is kinda blurry but not.. seriously... I know everyone here can do it.. provided that you have a digital camera, but normal camera can do it too, you're just gonna be wasting lots of money and films that's all!! (Laughing out loud)... Good luck everyone.. I'll be expecting some flight shots from everyone soon!!! :hap:
April 21, 200619 yr right....I did this like last week and all I got was blurred walls , will keep practicing.
