Here are a couple of my best attempts so far at photographing birds in flight. As opposed to the blackbirds in my last post, this is somewhat difficult to do and remain in focus. Perhaps it will be easier now that I have upgraded from the T1i used for these shots to a 60D. I think the focusing system is quite a bit better, so we will see…

beautiful!!! we got one of a bald eagle today while chasing balloons… but he was blurry when I went to put him in our blog… so the balloons are the only photos…from today
Thanks! I took a look at your balloon photos, you have some nice shots there (even without the eagle ;))
