Workshop: Galveston Island, TX

D800, 600, ISO 800, 6.3, 1/2500.

Even at 4 frames a second, one can get lucky :-)

An incredible shot. I love the translucent wings & the spread tail. Great detail & HA. Wonderful BG. TFS.

Stunning top side view with a super glance back. The wing, the tail and background all perfection!!!

Another stunning shot, Alan! An inspiration to keep improving!

Great shot. Small birds in flight are really hard to get right but this one is excellent.

Alan:

The translucent feathers are spectacular on this bird, have never seen that on a Kingbird before. What was the lighting like?
