Seeing all the feathers frozen so precisely is beautiful, and probably gives lots of information to people studying bird flight too. Thanks for posting these! |

Just goes to show how little humans have mastered the art of flight. Those birds are the true masters. The photos show incredible detail of the feathers and the shape of the wing. -- thepixelfreak |

Yep! He did a super job with these. I agree with how the feathers are shaped when these birds are in flight. Every one of these greats shots reinforces my statement that the bird in this shot (different photograher) it stuffed and is not flying at all. The lack of proper feather/wing shape doesn't support the idea that this bird is actually flying. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5267965&size=lg Server Error The requested URL cannot be accessed due to a system error on this server.

Those are very nice shots, but it seems like it would be a lot easier to
just use cheap flash units to get the same effect. For compositional purposes, it also seems like you would get better shots using a telephoto lens, getting back a bit, composing the shot and then pushing the shutter release instead of getting so many cut-off birds in some photos achieved with the shutter tripping mechanism that doesn't require your input. Incidentally, is the exposure time dictated by flash duration or shutter speed? I ask because I noticed some ghosting in some of the images which suggests that the flash duration might be the shorter of the two (or you flash units might not be sync'd perfectly).
