    Birds on the go...

    Here are some shots of a flock birds on the move. I took these while on the go myself. The shots are just from a couple of weeks ago. I haven't done any editing (it shows) but I wanted to share the moment. The full size versions are in my gallery. Enjoy

    Aw thanks. I'm not sure how everyone feels about taking shots while driving. I try to be as safe as possible ready to capture "The Moment." I was on my way to work just after the time change on a weekend moring and I could've captured a car accident on the other side of the freeway. I saw the whole thing unfold right before my very eyes. It was a solo car crash the ended with the person slaming into the center divide at freeway speed. My camera was sitting on the seat ready to go next to me. Reason why I didn't grab it and start shooting? The ISO was set at 200 and it was still semi dark outside. I should've left it on auto :cryin: There was a CHP officer just a few cars back.

    I drive and shoot at times, but not too often with my 400mm

    Accidents are a hobby of mine, but SHHHHHHHHHH ...... don't tell

    I have to confess....I've taken hundreds of photos on-the-go......you miss a million photo opportunities if you don't.......keep the old Canon Powershot S2 IS close by at all times (or at least, most of all times, LOL!!).....check out TEABERRYEAGLE'S Gallery and see if you can pick the ones I've taken while driving down the road.........and, I do shoot, over the shoulder, auto accidents, too!........
