Thorp Perrow (Part 2)

Here are my attempts with flight shots at Thorp Perrow yesterday,I got loads of the Barn Owl, a couple of the Jackal Buzzard but the Saker Falcon was just too quick for me!

It's the first time I've had the D90 set to continuous autofocus and it's something I'm going to have to practice with more often.

You can see all the photos from our visit here.

Great stuff. Looks a terrific place to visit.
I like the Saker Falcon shot, the sharp focus on the head and enough blur to show wing movement.

I love flight shots! They are such a challenge but so satisfying when you get them.

They are ALL FANTASTIC! I can't even imagine being able to capture flight shots as well as you did. Love the owl.

...I think they all go beyond "attempts" and are perfect. Loved them!

Stunning Raptor series Paul. The images are taken beautifully. I like the perfect background and the cool compositions both in this and the previous post.

The sheer variety of this collection is incredible and fantastic.

Wonderful collection of shots Paul. The second shot of the Barn Owl is particularly good and really demonstrates the hovering movement. Nice one!
