My first real try at some bird photos

Chet18013 · Feb 22, 2014

Thursday Laurie and I went to the Desert Museum SW of Tucson. IF you're ever in this area, this is a MUST NOT MISS. As part of their facilities the have a demonstration of free flight of a number of different raptors twice a day. I had my camera, but wasn't really prepared with the right lens on it for catching the birds in flight. I have never made a effort in the past to do this kind of photo shoot, so here's a few of the photos I got.

If we get back to this wonderful place, I will try again with the correct lens and hopefully get some better focused photos.

Awesome shots you got Chet!!! Wrong lens or not, they are keepers.

Great shots, Chet, in spite of wrong lens, etc! The Sonoran Desert Museum remains one of my favorite memories of our time spent in the desert. We were fortunate enough to visit the museum twice.

You have some great shots, these guys are hard to work with as they move so quickly. This is a fascinating hobby, you will get better with practice and experimenting. Our own Seilorbird is a great resource.

That arizona sonora desert museum is AWESOME ain't it. I went there with a photo workshop. Had an absolute BLAST!!! Learned an incredible amount of photo tricks and methods. I took over 3000 pics there.

Great pics, I have a pic or two of that same owl, I believe.
