Blue Tit in flight

Hi all,

It was dull and overcast all day today so I decided to dust off the flash guns and have another go at "freezing" the action. The temperature outside complemented this project perfectly !

There is a lot of trial and even more error in this type of image as there are many variables. For every image I decide to keep there are hundreds that find there way into the recycle bin.

If you would like to see the image as it landed then please click HERE

Canon 1DMK4, 70-200 lens at 105mm, multiple flashes with the extra catchlights cloned away.

Cheers

Austin

Hi Austin,

Super image. I have tried without a flash and they are very difficult.

Fantastic to see them frozen in time :toast: :toast: :toast: Teasels do make them slow up a bit though before they land :wink:
