Birds in Flight


When they're flying in a clear blue sky even pigeons can look good. Photo taken on a walk though Jaffa 2 weeks ago.


Look here for more sky shots from around the world.

  2. That's a tough shot to get from that angle. Birds are seldom very cooperative when directly overhead like that. Nice job!

  9. Hi Robin! Those are great flight shots. You are right I wouldn't have guessed pigeons because they look so much better than a pigeon here :0)

  18. Indeed... it is just when they land that they turn into gross rats with wings.

    (latent bitterness regarding birds due to trauma, please excuse me)

    Very nice shot!

  25. Awesome photo! I'm still trying to get pictures of birds sitting still (my reflexes aren't trained well enough to capture birds in flight yet). Anyway, your detail is terrific--good job :)

  26. Yup. And you and your magic camera eye.

  27. It's hard to capture birds with their wings spread.Nice detail. I've never been to Israel but want to go very badly. Thank you for this view.

    I'm here because I saw a link to "Flowers" and then to "Skies" and I love to photograph!

    I think I will try to join. This is photography heaven!
