Greetings my fellow FMers, In this Osprey (4 to 7) series I was experimenting to get sharp body with blurry wing motion hence, lower shutter speed. All shots were taken with 50D and 800is and I must admit not a very good combination for my intended purposes, all EXIFS are in tact like always and this time on a tripod. Another lesson learnt I should have tried it hand held for BIF and panning purposes like I always do.
Garen,
You know what they say...
You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose
There is a lesson in there somewhere we still had fun

as Antman would say .. who said we can't pick a friends nose we sure had a quiet and a strange day BTW how did your bean omlet turned up
I happen to think there is some real nice tonal range on #1 Garen, nice one sir!
Man that Osprey is giving you the wicked eye-lid look buddy
Congrats on your first 'milk-bath' cormie jettison fly by
I shoot mine hand held though most will tell you to use a tripod. Your shutter looks to be about 1/500, possibly as slow as 1/320. Try about 1/125 if you want good wing blur and sharp bodies. At this speed you may find it hard to keep the body sharp as the birds do bounce up and down a bit. You will need to find the right moment in your subjects wing motion to pull this off and of cause you can burst to see what you like.
The 3rd is my pick from this set. The first and last of the osprey are my pick of the flight photos.

Oh, wow.
And with an 800 no less!
The Osprey are looking simply great.
I can have trouble finding my subject at just 300mm, so I'm very impressed when I see bird in flight pictures at 800mm.
Gee Garen, I am always trying to get my SS up to freeze the wings in motion. I used to get plenty too slow and chuck them
Very nice set my friend. Now whats all this about a bean omlet?
Martin
we still had fun
