Portraits of Birds / Birds in Flight
Birds (in Flight) photography can be challenging at times. Its never a certainty that a 100% well-framed images are going to end up in your camera's memory card.
Birds / Birds in Flight photographed at
Intaka Island,
Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden and
Woodbridge Island, Cape Town
From time to time I also end up with birds that's either to fast, I see them too late or perhaps they are to close to my 400mm lens. I end up of what I refer to as portrait shots - although my intension was the complete bird in flight.
If the images are in focus I will attempt to post-process them as Birds / Birds in Flight portraits.
