Hi Daniel, Good one as usual... 8)

I like the form of the wings. Unfortunately, the bill is merging a bit with the far wing. ;D

I always puzzled how you, KK & 648 can turn out so many difficult shots regularly. What are your secrets, particularly with flight shot of fast birds ;D ??? Is it just more practise & patience ??? ???

I always wanted to know, apart from the bird hides, are there any good locations for practising flight shots? I found it particularly difficult to pan the birds with the small windows of the bird hides.... :(

Hi Angus,
You got the secret, I believe. ;D That said, you have to wait, be patience and, most importantly, practise & practise so as to get reward of higher quality photo. ;:-*
KK, Fei,
Any ideas to be shared?! ::)
Daniel

Yes, Anguslau, more practice, lots of patience and most of all timing ... Knowing the characteristics, for examples, shutter lag, AF mechanism etc, of your equipment is half the battle won! ;D ;D ;D

Good shooting!
