Quote: Those are some killer shots Pete. I'm not sure I've ever seen a shot of a bluebird in flight, it amazing!
Quote: Wow - just wow! The first one is a-friggin-mazing. Definitely deserves going on the wall.
I sympathize with the soft-after-uploading, I've had my share of problems of that sort also - I doubt that it's a problem with the forum website as such, though...
Thanks Tom and tclausen. I'm pretty pleased with the Bluebird in flight shots, I got several decent ones. Nothing good enough to sell, which is my main goal, but still pretty decent. And definitely not easy to get. I tried dozens of times. To get these I sat in my Jeep parked about 15-20 feet away and waited. I knew they would be in and out of the box. I originally built the box for Bluebirds, and Chickadees took it over...the Bluebirds still fought over it for a couple of weeks and apparently gave up because the Chickadees raised little ones eventually.
I've always noticed uploads are a bit soft, not sure why but it's irritating. These are definitely sharper than they look here...
Here are a couple more of the Bluebird in flight shots, taken around the same time at the same Bluebird box. Nothing great, but still decent enpough I'm not against showing them off a bit.
