Well, its my birthday month, so maybe i will get something decent
Superb. I'm still failing in my quest to even see one of theseIts been a long time since i posted a shot in the photo comp,i used to look forward to them a few years ago ...However as i have always enjoyed taking shots of birds in flight ,it was a good excuse tonight to try for some little owl shots..this is a shot just before sunset of a juvenile in flight ,main focus on the eye with enough wing blur and wing angle to say flight ,IMHO no doubt i will get plenty more as the weeks go on but i dont want to get to obsessed with looking for just flight shots a family holiday and a few other intrests will take care of that ...

I'm lucky if I can even see the bird in the viewfinder.LOL - just use the center AF point for your Focus or setup a small group of the AF sensors in that area to be the ones to focus - then the "easy bit" - following the bird and keeping that eye in the centre of frame
Superglue on the feeders works well
Theme is flight, not sit
Are we accepting shoe horned entries... as in not technically flying but interpretations?
I have an idea, but know most might shoot it down

The weather hasn't been exactly great, hopefully it'll improve which should help.Either way it's better than the non idea I've got
Will the competition still be open on the evening of 27th? If not, then I can't see myself getting an entry in...
Get the keys to new house on friday so if I don't get anything in next few days I probably wont.
Weather not looking good either
Sorry that hear you've been unwell hope you are fully on the mend now! I've been away on hols and only just seen.Thanks, you all I got sent home yesterday. My consultant said it's safer to be at home than at the hospital, so I'm now on bucket loads of antibiotics per mouth, but I get to sleep in my own bed. Hallelujah!!! It was a nightmare week. Managed to get a very bad infection going in my stomach by waiting too long to see my GP... Yes, I know, should have just gone when I first realised that the pain is too hard to just be any kind of normal stomach pain, but I tend to have a very high pain threshold and here we see it's not always a good thing. Anyway, enough about that, I've learned my lesson, next time I'll go early!
@shotokan101 LOL, I did get some good stuff for the pains, but unfortunately it didn't make me fly! The near 40C fever did though, that was kind of trippy! But still, not suitable viewing for the interwebs

So far it's mostly been
See a bird with naked eye.
Point camera.
Can't see bird.
Lower camera.
Bird is gone.
The 5d3 supposedly has a great focusing system, mine is clearly broken
Anything like this works for me, can't speak for anyone else thoughDear Theme Police - what do you think about athletes flying through the air doing pole vaulting? Meets the flying theme?
