Thank you!That is why i keep going back to take pictures of the same birds.I try different things and sometimes it works and a lot of times it doesn't.

Location
I took this photo at a nature center in rural Iowa.It is call Pioneer Ridge Nature Area!Many of cold winter days sitting quietly in the blind have been spent there!Time
This was a day of experimenting for me.I got up early and I had prepared the night before so I was out the door quickly.It was around 7 am.Lighting
The light in the morning when i took this picture was real bad.I had planned on trying different things with settings.I remembered a blog i had read about using flash for birds in flight.I tried it and I am glad i did.I got some real sharp pictures that morning.Equipment
I shot this photo with a Sony Alpha 77 II, and my lens was a sigma 150-500.Inspiration
I am always on the hunt to take a better picture than i have before.That is my real passion is trying to out do myself.Editing
I use Optics Pro for editing the picture.I really like the noise removal and the simplicity of just moving sliders.In my camera bag
Sony Alpha 77 II-- Sigma 150-500--- sony 16-50 2.8----Feedback
Keep your trigger finger in good shape and hit the trails.I use the pray and spray method a lot of times.I have been trying out manual focus, and different things.Keep experimenting and who knows what will happen!
