Getting any shorebird in flight is always hard so well done. I love this species and have seen them many times. Next time work on getting them in flight at eye level. Looking forward to more. Have any shots of Inland Dotteral or Plainswanderer in flight
Hi Isaac. Thanks so much for the feedback. Will aim for "eye level" shots. No Dotteral/Plainswanderer yet...my next mission! Do have a Baillon's Crake non flight shot though.
Sharp with nice near-underwing detail. As Isaac said, too steep an angle to the bird. I am not a fan of the boxy crop here. More room all around would hep a bit.
Note to Isaac: I do not think that you have seen this species ....
with love, artie

Artie, I have birded Asia quite a few times and also been to Australia
Paul I'd be super impressed if you manage an Emu in flight shot
Isaac. You got me!

Paul I was in Deniliquin many years back and we were in someones car. We were driving really fast along side 3 Emus that were running full speed through the plains. It was almost like they were flying as each step took them so far. Driver wasn't paying attention to where we were going and was watching the Emus until the last second when he realized we were going straight towards a ditch. He slammed on the breaks and we all crashed into the seat in front of us. Have the whole thing on video.
Hi Artie,
Thank you for kind words. I will become a member, as I really appreciate the constructive criticism I've received so far, and look forward to improving my photography even more. Cheers.
Isaac...would love to see that video! Hope you weren't injured in the car though? (Things we do to capture that shot!)
