Ahhh. I love action shots... I really want to try and get one
Lovely shot. Nice and sharp with perfect timing. Even more impressive considering you couldn't just shoot it down

Thanks Lawrie. The Hawk Conservancy is a great place to get shots of flying birds, have you been there before?

It's a great place. I really need to go there again sometime soon. I don't think it's too far from you, is it? Nearer then the BWC if I'm right.

It looks it ^^
You do!

I don't think so. It's in Hampshire for a start which is good. I can get to Andover Station for about £12 return

Much better then the BWC then. xD We should meet up there at some point, there are plenty of chances to practice birds in flight shots there. ^^

It is. I'm sure you'd love it there.

Also, was talking to Mum about BWC, and she was wondering if it'd be easier/cheaper for you to get a train up to either Guildford or Woking station and for us to drive you up to BWC? We obviously are going to do that drive anyway, so it's not gunna be any bother taking you too. And don't say no just to be polite, or I'll set Alannah on you. xD
Anyway, just have a think and a look at train prices and I'll bug you about it again after Easter. xD

Same here

Ooo. That might be good if that's no problem? It would cost be about £16 return to either I think
NO! Not Alannah!
Tell her thank you ^^ You're both really nice to think of that ^^

FantasticFennec In reply to Chikrata [2012-03-07 15:36:05 +0000 UTC]

Of course it's not a problem. ^.^ And £16 is much more like it! The price you were saying before was ridiculous! xD

It's amazing how big their wings get when they're fully spread.

Oh he/she looks like a rocket, just the sheer focus upon its face is amazing i think more cropping could have been done, to much green!

Thanks Katy. It's really hard getting the cropping right with flying birds, as I found when I cropped it tighter the whole picture looked really thin and just didn't work in my opinion. It's certainly something I think a lot more about now when I take photos of flying birds, I concentrate more on the background and angle of the bird before I think about focusing.
