Technically these should be deletes. The bird flew by so close he filled my view finder. The lens was pulled back as far as possible.
The only reason I had focus was I use the back button method. Hold in the button and keep focus. I held the button, and camera tight before I got knocked over. Well, fell over from leaning back for the shot.


I kept, and published them, because it’s not often you can see such detail of a 5 foot bird zooming by.

Fun photographs, no award winners. But interesting.
Very cool
Oh, wow! I think these are absolutely gorgeous. I’m not an expert on photography or anything, but I think these are fantastic shots. I’m glad you wound up posting them. They’re beautiful. 🙂
Thanks. The great thing about what I do…never boring and never know what will happen.
I absolutely LOVE these photos! He is so clear, you can see every feather, and the white background just gives all the credit to this wonderful bird!
Thank you so much !
Wow, great detail!
Thanks. Not what the plan was but it came out pretty good anyway.
