Parakeets 1 – Practicing Flight Shots

November 13th,2011

 

Woke up to some parakeets making a racket 🙂   I need to get these beauties in flight one of these days !

Nikon D3, 300mm 2.8 VR,  ISO800, 1/1250, F5.6 (manual exposure)

no images were found

I then decided to put in some flight shot practice on the pigeons that were flying around.

The flight shot I liked most from todays practice .

Nikon D3, 300mm2.8 VR, ISO800, 1/1250 @F4 (manual exposure ), AF-C mode, Dynamic Area AF

no images were found

And here is a rather abstract shot I liked. Totally unintended and,  I misses the focus on the bird 🙂 However I liked the way it turned out 🙂

Nikon D3, 300mm2.8 VR, ISO800, 1/2000 @F3.5  (manual exposure ),

no images were found

So if you have a camera and a window/ balcony, put your camera in manual and practice some flight shots.

Tips:

1. Acquire early

2.  Follow the bird with hot reticule on the bird

3. Squeeze shutter & follow through.

 

Above all…EXPERIMENT  & HAVE FUN !
