Flying Dreams

Taking bird in flight picture with slow shutter speed is more challenging than it looks. I tried many times, and finally got one I liked.

This one was taken at Bosque, with 1/15sec shutter.

Most of this I really like, but it would be nice to have something in focus. But it is a good composition, almost dreamlike.

I really like this image. Not just the slow shutter speed, but the black and white effect as well. Composition and positioning of birds works well here. And I agree that it is harder than it looks. Nicely done.

I like the sepia tones and the blur affect. Very cool.

Nice job of capturing the motion. It's harder that it seems.
