In Flight

In Flight · 12:39 PM

I've been practicing some in flight shots lately and so far satisfied (personal standard

) with them. This is taken with a K10D and this what makes me excited with the upcoming K-7 in terms of faster frame rates and improve focusing.

This is a great series Conrad! The second shot is outstanding!

Thanks Rense. Looks like I already found the technique to use for shooting in flight birds. I still need regular practice though.

Love it as well. Saw this bee flower hopping. I pre-focused on the flower and just wait for the bee to come around.

Really like #3 with the gull against the green background!

Fantastic shots. I've yet to master these with my K20D.

Beautiful series , Conrad. I really like the two shots of the gulls. Well done!

mithrandir · 06-05-2009, 01:08 PM

Conrad,
That is one wonderful set of exposures. The DOF in the last two gives an almost 3-D appearance. Right-on sharpness as well. My hat's off to you.

JMR · 06-05-2009, 06:37 PM

These are all first rate, but I really like the duck most because of the etheral qualities of the background. Getting a sharp image is not the only thing one has to do and your images certainly show that overall quality is equally important.

Nice shots all of them. I do like the duck and the bee though

roentarre · 06-06-2009, 03:08 AM

Really a spetacular set of shots.

Legacyb4, Falld5, Bramela, Mithrandir, Scottnorwo, JMR, Roentarre,

Thank you very much for the nice comments, well appreciated.

I was just surprised why the picture of the mallard (1st pic) is not as sharp with the one I have in smugmug. This is the first post where I uploaded the pictures in pentaxforums server.

Here's the one in smugmug.
