BIF - birds in flight



Not an easy skill to master. Having the camera ready, knowing the flight patterns of the species of birds you're photographing and having a little bit of luck all come together to make a great shot. Overcompensating the exposure will bring out detail of the bird against the sky. Shutter speed should be at least 1/800 to stop wings and get a clean shot. Speeds of 1/1250th or more work even better. If you have a prosumer type of camera, make sure you "pan" with the bird to allow for shutter lag.
