Bullet?

[arash_hazeghi]

meadow lark in flight. I usually go for wings up or down but I kind of liked this one since it looks like a bullet. A bit challenging to swing the big six with these speeders, I am hoping to get more song birds in flight with 500PF, hopefully will get to try it soon


Shot with D850 and 600E FL + 1.4X III. ISO 1250 f/5.6 at 1/3200 sec hand held. Processed with Capture One Pro 12. BTW depending on your monitor you may see some posterization in the BG, not much I can do about it....

Pretty amazing! So freakin' sharp! It does indeed look like a bullet.
Great BG.

Certainly gives the impression of a bullet. It's about as sharp as it's possible to get.Superb capture of this fast moving bird.

[Bill Dix]

These are really tough birds to catch in flight. I'm not crazy about the flight pose, but the sharpness is amazing.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Yeah, I too prefer up or down, but I suppose for a bird like a meadowlark this will be more than OK. Nice BG and sharpness.

[Colin Driscoll]

Terrific shot, and a good change from stereotypical BIF shots with superb technicals.

[John Mack]

Like how the feet are tucked in and the stream lined bird as well.

[Jonathan Ashton]

A really unusual shot and becasue it is so well focused with good DOF it works very well indeed. (No problem regarding the background).

[Dorian Anderson]

This is awesome. I would have kept this shot as well. It's fun. Tack sharp and perfectly lit.

[Ivan Sjogren]

Great skill involved in capturing songbirds in flight, well done. Lovely background, light and comp. I like the pose even if the bird becomes a bit small in frame without the wings up or down.

[Alex Becker]

Pretty awesome. Rarely see these type of birds in flight. The bullet pose is pretty cool. And great details and BG as well. TFS

[Eric Dienesch]

really awesome shot.. don`t see this too much..
great job

[Mike Poole]

No issues whatsoever for me with the bullet pose, I think its fantastic. I get people prefer the dynamic wing position but this frame is so typical of a bouncing songbird flight
