These guys are like little jet fighters. The best I can do with this camera as far as lense reach.

It's sort of a "bird life" series. Just like street photography but in a rural environment and with birds instead of people. I find it fun and like it.

But I guess, most people would prefer a shorter shutter speed to have less motion blur. Perhaps it's possible to move your camera angle, so that the background would get a bit less distracting.

Just my thoughts, Sean.

Other than the motion blur of the wings I see nothing wrong with them

Next time you get the opportunity to shoot them try lifting the speed to around 1/1500 and lifting the iso to around 200 so you keep the same exposure, that would eliminate most of the motion blur.

Cheers David

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow. They should be working the same puddle. It's not very rural. It's actually bwtween two aircraft hangers.

I went out there today and they weren't there. The puddle will be dry by next week. Oh well.
