Ever have one of those shots where everything falls into place....except for one thing this guy came at me and forgot to bump up the EV from the previous ground shot so I under exposed it badly, I sure wish I could have this moment in time back again

The seagul fight is really cool. way to go. looks like you practiced about enough.

Beautiful series, Mike! The seagull food battle is the best action shot.

 

[Keith]

Beautiful series Mike, man you must be having a blast!! Keep them coming!!

Hey Mike -
Great shots. Looks like you don't need a lot more practice. That BIF shot is fantastic! That's birds in fights - new definition.

Hi Mike! Was that a Sandy Hook osprey? Really like the sixth shot.

Mike, you have some very nice images here. Your practice days are over and you are officially a flying bird photographer I like the seagull one where they are fighting over their meal. Also the Osprey is really nice.

Nice flight shots, Mike! I especially like the two gulls fighting over the crab. As for forgetting to bump the EV I've certainly been there more than once. I'd have to agree with Gordon - your practice days are over.
