Thank you
In this case the bird cooperated which was nice. One challenge is to get the exposure right especially with darker birds.

amazing shot. not an easy task to shoot a flying bird in such a fashion that he appears to be posing for you!

Thank you.
This bird acted as though he was posing for me. I think that he may have been curious he certainly wasnโt afraid of me.

Wow, it's an excellent shot! It must be pretty hard to photograph birds.. I prefer photographing my tortoise who's not moving as fast as birds

Great capture. The wings and tail are nicely displayed. It takes a good eye to catch a shot like this.

It wasnโt so much luck as it was persistence and luck. I had noticed that this guy was hunting in this location for a couple of days so I set up in my car, waited hours and took over a hundred pictures of him. This was one of the few that were worth saving.
What lens are you using?

I use a compact camera as I can take it everywhere and use it all the time.
