I'm sat watching the sun go down silly lady. I'm not going to fly untill you stop pointing your camera at me.
Get pushed capture birds in flight. Tried again last night. Again the birds liked this spot to sit. I was stood on a garden chair to get better view of the setting sun too. When suddenly realised my neighbour had opened the attic window and was watching me... Prehaps not a good look, stood on chair, near to their wall with camera in hand pointed at their house.... And all for a bird that didn't fly. Well he did of course, just as I gave up.... The saga will continue but I may try another spot rather than our garden.
@amandal Fear this will be tough challenge. Only have a 42mm zoom, lack of patience, should I discover patience from somewhere I have a 2 year old with me all week who really will not get the necessary behaviour required to capture birds in flight....
Lovely light on those windows and funny story!! What we do for 365!! Just thinking is there a lake/park nearby where there are ducks and probably seagulls. Get your daughter to run towards them and they will all take off giving you a great opportunity for a flight shot. Just remember have the camera set ready - a high ISO might help also. Perhaps take some bread with you and get your daughter to throw it into the air - you will soon get seagulls swooping by. Good luck.
You really made me smile with the commentary on this photo, especially when I began to picture the action. You will get a reputation of being a peeping tom in your neighbourhood.
Nice shot though, I love the chimney pots and the reflection of the sun on the windows.
