  • Mary Campbell replied

    Thanks Dianna, to capture birds in flight you need a long lens, a fast shutter speed, and a steady hand as your panning.

    What a fantastic capture, the bird looks just perfect

  • Mary Campbell replied

    This one absolutely was an luck, I saw this bird really far up in the sky and couldn’t even tell what it was an eagle or an osphre.. I just happened to be walking with my camera and 300mm lens on it so I pointed it up to the sky and took some shots. It wasn’t until I got it home did I realize he had a fish in his claws… Just luck..

    Nice composite here – works really well together. Great capture of the osphre.

  • Mary Campbell replied

    Thanks a bunch, yes the osphre was the hardest to put in this picture had to make him larger, and etract him. His capture was just luck and a steady hand. The sunrise was fabulous on its own, but better with the osphre.
