[quote=CathyAnn]Good job! One of these days I'll learn how to
Thanks. Glad you liked them. It isn't that hard to do I like learning new things. You are correct about flying slow!!! The first time I saw it in the air I said I never knew anything that size could go so slow and remain in the air!!! Mike
That thing was in Omaha 2-3 weeks ago, flying all around. Didn't get any photos tho, was playing golf at the time.
If you ever get a chance to see it go and bring your camera! Even if you don't go up you can check out the inside. You will be surprised!! Glad you stopped by! Mike
i would like to do the same , but i think that is difficult .....
It's not hard at all!!! I use paintshop pro and worked in layers Had the sky as the background layer and just erased everything but the plane. It took about an hour. There are other ways also but I had time to kill Mike
In case anyone is on the fence about the Nikon D500 Nikon 200 500 combo I am posting a few unedited , untouched except cropped straight out of the camera jpegs .
Not bad for Nikon!!! Just joking!!!!! VERY NICE!!!!!!!
I have attended several Civil War Reenactments for the photo shoot opportunities and the education. The reenactors never fail to teach me something new. This year I was introduced to the 5th New York Volunteer Infantry called Duryee's Volunteers.
A living history lesson! It's a sad day when you don't learn something!! Also a nice shot!
I had time to play again I used the sunset for the background picture and the tri-motor for the plane I like it in both pics I will post all the original pics that I started with Feel free to comment Mike
I'm new at the BIF deal. This was taken using Nikon D7200 with Sigma 150-600, @ 600mm. Shutter Priority: 1/1600 @ F6.3 @ ISO 900. I'm just looking for some honest feedback & some pointers. The head is just not as clear as the rest of the bird. I guess I could/should lower the ISO, but How slow could I go with the shutter speed & still get a decent shot? Would that have had any effect on the head, anyway?
I failed to mention in my earlier reply that the location of the bird is good! You always want to have the subject that is in motion moving thru the frame! If it were on the left side it would look like it was about to fall out of the picture!!! Mike
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to hand hold that to 1/600 of a sec. So I would recommend not changing your iso but your f stop to at least f 8 or f11 Wit your lens at 600 your dof is fairly shallow!!! As in any wildlife you want the eyes to be crystal clear. It looks like your focus point was at the front edge of the closest wing. Just my take on it! I hope this helps you! If you want I have a few shots of eagles on here you are welcome to Check them out! Mike
Thanks in advance.

Our local weekly, the Lansing City Pulse, ran a cover art contest during the summer (any medium). They selected one of my photos for the Aug. 24 cover:
