Oh, thank you. He seems to be a REAL bird chaser. Impressive site, he has.

Thank you Adrienne ( Are you a lady ? ) !
Yes, it's quite amazing how the animals optimize their bodies for their survival.

I gotta go with the top one. Although I would have maybe selected 3 if there were some background. Either one is nice.
Sorry to 56K folks for 3 images.
I had fun with flying seagulls. Pick your favorite !

Hi Pondria,
Excellent work as always. I really like the first one, very dynamic and almost hawk like. Please keep up the good work and keep sharing them with us.

- 1 for sure. I'd be interested in the shutter speeds and settings to capture these -- I knew D30 was the still portrait dream machine--but you are showing it does motion quite well. The photographer helps of course. My impression is that D1x might be the motion photographers dream choice--but hey--who can shell out $5K?

What do you mean ? Why not ?
That's what I guessed. But I'm careful with guessing based on the forum ids. Folks used to think I was a female ;-)but I'm female
I agree that backgrounds enhances the picture. Green background tree would have been better.
From the bird master, comments like that makes me very encouraged. Thank you !
It was Aperture priority AE with f/5.6. Shutter speed was, I think, around 1/500 or above. I used AI-servo mode to track the focus.
Well, it's not as fast as 1D or D1x. But you can still do somethings. The AI-servo mode kind of works OK.
For the "anticipated" motions, D30 probably is OK. But you are right. It's not a very fast camera.
Thanks ! I can guarantee that I'll keep shooting.
Thank you ! By the way, are you the Copyrighted JimK or just JimK ? You should be just JimK. Otherwise, we will be in deep confusion.
