Flying GBH

[Wheeler McDougal Jr.]

This was one of the flying GBH I took when out with FABS on Monday. Can't say how much fun and a good experience the day with FABS turned out to be. This is my third time with her and I learn a great deal each time. Thanks FABS! Shooting data below:

Glad you had a good time Wheeler I know she was excited with the action !!!

Image is very sharp and well exposed. Might want to make the image just sooner so the bird is coming to not just going away. A little extra room up front would be nice to have. Wing position is a personal choice and if possible like the full or down stroke !!! Excellent image, got a keeper !!!

Wheeler, As Alfred said this image is sharp and well exposed-not easy with a BIF shot. The BG is lovely and the colors compliment the bird nicely.

A fine bif flight shot Wheeler, I like the detail.

High Wheeler, all in all a nice shot, would have like to have seen a bit of room behind the birds head and right wing, but I guess you would have had to have shot it a split second earlier like Alfred said.
