Mike, I sure the crows appreciated your attention! Sometime you just get what you get.

I agree, Carol. I am going to have to get used to auto focusing in-flight birds to get into the BIF circle.

Birds in flight are incredibly challenging. Even sitting birds move their heads quickly and can ruin a shot. I love the detail and colors here!

They look pretty decent to me, Mike.
(I’m not a bird photographer either.)

Mike, I don’t even attempt BIF. I can’t hold my camera steady enough and also I just don’t respond quickly enough. Practice might help but I enjoy the wading, fishing type of shots so I just stick with that.

As a landscape shooter, I am always in awe of the photographs of birds in flight and at great distances that you post. In my recent trip to Canyonlands, I promised myself that I would attempt to capture at least one or two shots of birds to share.

Attached are all the photos I got that are worth even sharing with an understanding audience. In my defense, these were the only birds I saw. The crows were at almost every view point, always a pair. Some other visitors said that they were male and female. Could be the same pair following me. One rumor was this is how park rangers are reincarnated.

The first posts are iPhone shots, the last one was the only one I could get with my camera.

Good ones Mike. If you don’t try different shooting scenarios you will not grow as a photographer.

I happen to like crows a lot. Not surprisingly, your phone had trouble with the exposure. Just as white egrets often have whites blown, crows often have the darks blown, so its handy to have the raw to recover some information in those darks. Any bird that lets me sit within three feet and still ignores me is a special kind of bird. I like all your shots!

Great Raven shots from Canyonlands, Mike.

Here's one I took there last October in the 'Needles' area sitting on our car door.

They are beggers, to be sure.

I think you've done well, Mike. I call bird shots satisfactory if they aren't black blobs or faint swishes! Nice. And to think, with your phone!
