Darn that shutter lag .......

[Hilary Hann]

Because I'm really no good at BIF and most images are a mix of blur and bird bits, I thought I'd have some fun with one of the 'almost' flight images I have kept. This is a different Lilac Breasted Roller from the one I posted a couple of days ago, but keeping in with the textured theme.

So this is my take on the weekly theme of Flight. I'm sure if my trigger finger and camera were as fast as my brain and the bird, then I'd get a real BIF!!! :e3

Hey, don't feel bad Hilary, I have slow reflexes and have captured my share of those too! Nice processing and texture!

My BIF's are hit and miss, but this...this...well, this is OOTB! :bg3:

Indeed, I think it is good to laugh at oneself sometimes. The frustration of birds ....... :bg3::w3:t3

Hilary, This image made me smile and the background colors and textures are gorgeous.:S3:

[Andrew McLachlan]

Love the colors and textures too Hilary. BIF are anything but easy. I end up with lots of blurs and clipping too :S3:
