AT PATHO

Achievement unlocked!

It has been a year since I started this blog and one of my goals along the way was to be able to take some photos of birds in the air. When I began, I preferred subjects that stayed still. Even the wind blowing a flower around on a sunny day, was enough to frustrate me. So I’m proud to have captured these birds in flight… and to have reasonably clear focus. I’d have to admit that these are large subjects and they take off fairly slowly. being relatively easy to photograph. Now, the next challenge is the smaller birds, especially the ones that flit around, never staying still and hiding in trees or shrubs with lots of foliage to keep them safe.
