It is 5 years since I became a caedes member - I wanted to upload this on the day but I spent too long fiddling with it so it is an hour late :)
I remember back then thinking that to photograph a bird in flight would be the ultimate! I have managed a few over the years and this is by no means the best of a poor bunch but thought I would post it anyway as it makes a nice uncluttered desktop that someone may enjoy.
Taken with Canon 450D
Thanks for viewing, comments always appreciated.

Congratulations on five years, Lyn. I need a few more months to make that landmark. I find it hard to believe we've been around these parts so long! lol You are right about the space making for a great DT and the bird came out well. I can never hold the camera steady enough to catch a bird in flight even with an IS lens.

It is members like you that made me want to stick around and learn LE. Congratulations on your anniversary.
This has such a nice soft feel to it.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

I think this is a very good shot of the gull in flight Lyn. Sharp focus on the bird and the blue sky looks great.

I think we joined at about the same time. Lots of fun. You were probably good to begin with but you've become awesome.

I like this Eve, particularly the way the sun shines through the bird's wing feathers. Well done! Congratulations on your Caedes anniversary and all the splendid pictures you have posted.

How cool ! I Love the simplicity of this shot. It's utter & complete stillness takes a second but then it's dramatic power hits it you....wow. Love the way the clouds on either side form a delicate frame, plus all that blue negative space. Though I gotta admit what first drew me was the gull seeming to just hang there in space...it's a great looking effect !

Anyway, I kinda like this & thought I'd drop by & leave you a line or 2. lol
