While enjoying a cup of coffee at my local canal side bistro, I noticed the comings and goings of red-winged blackbirds seeking scraps from the neighbouring vacated tables. It gave me the idea to try the bird flight capture mode of my new camera on these high velocity incoming targets. The highest focus challenge in photography! With no benefit of experimentation with the basic settings, initial results were rather impressive. With practice, (and especially not trying to balance a cup of coffee with my camera while I shoot), I’m sure I can do better. Stand by for improvements!
