The bat flight by louannwarren

The bat flight

As I said yesterday, this photo is guaranteed to make you smile. You can see the bats were moving pretty fast and I'm such an amateur photographer I couldn't bring them into focus. The people in the corner are a few of the hundreds that were standing on the bridge. They flew from under the bridge in waves, it was such a great thing to see, I'll just be happy with the blurs. Smile!
That's amazing! And a little bit creepy!

I just love this!!! Amateur or not the movement of the Wings is definitely necessary to get a sense of what everyone was saying! We all know what a bat looks like but how many of us have watch this many fly by our faces?! You'll be on the popular page shortly and I say that with conviction!! What different experiences were all having at this time of year!

I'm trying to dictate to my tablet so I can write more notes to everyone but while the words don't run together it does seem to pick out what it wants to say and not always exactly what I said!

Love the composition of this shot, especially the way the viewers are blurred and slanted in the corner. I like how this turned out, Lou Ann!

Fantastic capture of the bat flight, Lou Ann! I'm determined to make the trip to Austin in October to witness this spectacular event in person. :-)

Oh you are awakening my nightmares. I have from time to time had them in my house. Very scary to wake to one running across your bed while you are in it being chased by a cat.

well done, I do miss watching the bats fly out every evening as I used to live fairly close to a big colony :)

@Weezilou There's more than one way to skin a cat - "talking to your tablet", love that!
