I spent a while trying to photograph these beautiful Purple Martins in flight and it is always a challenge. No doubt new cameras have much faster and better auto focus systems but practice is really necessary to sharpen the hand eye coordination to find the birds in the middle of the viewfinder. Looking forward to more practice and hopefully a new camera soon.
Select highest YT resolution for best experience and let me know which picture you like the most.
Thanks for watching, Cheers!!!
