re bird

Thanks Leon and Jennifer,yes-I want to try and improve my photography-so any feed back is handy.

I took this photo as a test shot,I have been using Very high speed frame rate,for BIF,but have been a little disappointed with results.This time I switched it off,and use single shot only,as the bird flew over I panned him and slowly fired 6 or 7 shots.When I checked all in focus and not too bad,this had the best composition.

Previously,I had taken 30-40 shots of a Brown Falcon in flight-at high speed all turned out rubbish,I relied on the fact-'oh its 6 fps-I will get some keepers' instead of tried and true method-(most BIFFing I do birds are at distance).

But closer ones landing on water,High speed would be good,I have had the 50D a year now,its a fantastic camera,I am happy with it,but takes a while to learn to do somethings with it.

Thanks for looking-Chris
