Capturing images of a single bird in flight is always challenging in some aspect of photography.
Do you use a tripod vs hand holding, trying to keep a constant focus on the subjects eye so it remains sharp on the image, locking in the motion vs showing some wing blur to created a sense of movement, these are just some of the things we keep in mind while were setting up the shot. Not to mention being in the right spot at the right time. And lets not leave out the angle, low high shooting upwards or downward all of these factors play into a good bird in flight image. Hey then try even reverting to black and white to see how that makes the image feel.
Enjoy
As a kid growing up we always had a dog. As a grown up so to speak we have always had a dog. This is our family dog Wriggly weighing in for the winter season @ 112 lbs. making him a very large lovable dog. Sometime in the future I might get my cough back?? Then again maybe not!!!
Nothing like living on the Outer Banks during the winter season. The weather plays such an explosive realm on our scenery. No matter were you travel along the Outer Banks you will see immediately how much the fishing community influences our islands, from commercial, to crabbing and netting shrimp, as well as beach and pier fishing. This image is a stack of crab pots ready to board along the Wanchese Harbor. 
Got to love these Brown Pelicans who are becoming very numerous here on the Outer Banks.
Capturing images of a single bird in flight is always challenging in some aspect of photography.
Everyday there is a new image to be created. Portraits, landscapes, wildlife, or what ever you come across. Never leave the house or office without your camera "today's shot is gone tomorrow"
