First attempt at BIF

[Gord SW Ont]

Attached are my first attempt at trying to take photos of "birds in flight" which is tough since I don't have a long telephoto lens. Oh well ... at least it was a lot of fun.

P.S. Just noticed that the pics show smaller in the post unless you click on it. Is this new? Click on pics to get a bigger size.

and it think it is for those with dialup. They can chose to view the larger picture if they wish.

I like your attempts at BIF!!

I just recently moved from a point & shoot to a DSLR and I'm trying to learn how to use it.

I think most shots were with a short zoom set at about 70mm and around f11 at 1/800 of a second and ISO 1600 as it was quite late in the day. It will take me some time to get a handle on fast moving subjects though.

Best part is that I'm having lots of fun playing around with everything.

A Canon 30D ... as they are less expensive at the moment since a new replacement model is expected in the near future. Lots of new stuff to learn though.

I'm thinking about a Pentax myself. I can use my old MF SLR lenses with it.

That should work great ... Pentax products are very nice.

We are so lucky to have the many P&S and DSLR digital cameras to help us capture our images. The instant feedback (versus film) really helps in learning how to improve your photography.

Good luck and enjoy!
