Seagull in Flight · **3 Likes**

Here's a seagull I caught in flight with my 18-135 and yes, using autofocus. It was all the way out at 135mm too! That's why that lens is normally on my K5!

Woah that's awesome.. now I know my lens is capable of that I'll place that sort of photo as a hope for in the future

You would be amazed at what the 18-135 can do.

AussieTrev · 02-28-2014, 10:46 PM

Awesome. I must be holding my tongue wrong I can't get a shot like that.

RobG · 02-28-2014, 10:56 PM

Great work! Birds in flight (or frankly anything moving) can be really hard to catch in the right focus.

Thanks! I'm glad they fly really slow or I would have been in trouble getting it.

OrchidJulie · 03-01-2014, 07:38 AM

Wow! Even flying slow, I don't think I could have captured it! (not that I have that exact lens, mind, but I do have several in similar/overlapping lengths). Well done!

Awesome shot and at 1/250s too. Tack sharp. Excellent.
