Very nice Dave.
I agree that the road needed darkening and more character, especially given the mood implied by your title.
Geographically, I think you may be off (south) by about a 1000 miles, but still a keeper!
Manual settings, BIF?! Yeah, many do it, after tons of practice, moving controls from one dial to another, etc. Too tough a gig for me.

Thanks Scott. I have yet to have time to set down and rework this one and all the rest. Definitely like the darker moodier vibe of Kents edit. I have a few others very similar that I think will work well like that also.
Yep, I knew the legend was from up there in yankee land but this place definitely has that feel to it and was running through my head while editing.

BIF manual, something I think everybody should do ... at least once. Twice if you're a sicko.
Actually, MF with gulls and other proximity friendly flyers isn't too bad if you are shooting a "zone" (with some dof) that they are flying into / through. Especially if it is close enough to use normal or WA glass with.
The other place that MF with BIF can be fairly effective is "zone" at launch from a given perch. Shootin' supertele WO on a raptor coming at ya ... not so much.
So ... let's see the pics.
I tried every technique I could think of and even though some were a little easier, my hit rate was an absolute joke. I think I broke my delete key.
The sad part is, I couldn't stop myself from at least trying every time I had a bird fly by or near me. So yep, I'm a "sicko".
Hell, I even clicked on a few that were way beyond my reach even though I knew they would be too small to do anything with.
And trying to nail one of those little torpedo barn swallow looking bastards drove me absolutely nuts!
For me, it's like a video game. Fun as hell, but man do I suck at it.
If they don't release that 6DII soon I'm going to say screw it and snag a nice used 5DIV. That's all I kept thinking about all week long and how fun would it be to actually nail some BIF with a new rig.
