One thing that has always puzzled me is how photgraphers capture birds in flight without a noisy shots. I would be out shooting and just watch them fly through them frame knowing my shutter speed would be to slow to work. But this was shot at 3200 ISO and no NR applied. I am getting close. If I had opened the aperture some and shot at 800 I think I could have really nailed it. Next time out I'll know. I really couldn't tell out in the field just looking at the LCD. Still not bad.
