10th January 2014 - We have lift off!!

This made me laugh as it reminded me of the large Thunderbirds rocket lifting off. Does that show my age? LOL!! Not as clear as I would have liked so I have had a little play in PS. The problem is my Canon 5D Mark 11 only does 3 FPS and I really want the 7D for 8 FPS - I think!! But I will give up Full Frame if I change - what to do?

Uploaded for my extras album

[Gerry]

nice action photo Pam

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great action shot!

[Miss Mercy]

Great motion capture.

[Danette Thompson]

Very cool. Love the movement.

[Trinda Love]

Love it, full frame lets in more light so quicker than smaller format light wise. So good in edit also. Problem, we are always looking for bigger/better. I know I am. But great capture

[Pam Knowler]

@trinda I love my 5D and I don't think I could give up full frame now. Editing and cropping is fantastic retaining fab detail!! Two cameras is the answer - one for landscape and portrait and one for wildlife but I know I would always have the wrong camera with me!! No pleasing us photographers!!

[Jan K]

LOL - love it!

[Maggie]

This is one of the most exciting things I've seen at project 365. Go pigeon-power! A fav.

[Rosie Kind]

I'm now glad I didn't post my pic of the pigeon taking off as it's not as good as this one. Nice timing

[Issi Bannerman]

Excellent - and I so remember the Thunderbirds. Lady Penelope was my heroine!

[Keith Porteous]

Great shot!

[Sharon]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Awesome capture, Pam.

[Kay Hodges]

Lovely pov and capture

[Yvonne]

Fabulous timing, Pam.

[elkehochban]

Fabulous movement!

[Ross Walker]

A remarkable motion shot. I think the slight blur adds to the feeling of movement.

[Nita]

Fabulous shot, the motion of the wings adds to the story of the image.

[amy spada]

I love what you were able to capture and think it doesn't matter that it's not crystal clear. The wings are incredible! Don't give up full frame....

[Elaine]

Fabulous timing Pam, such great movement. I know what you mean about changing to the 7D which I got when I upgraded, however I cannot get on with the lens I use on it and had much better results on my 400D and I cannot afford to buy more lenses.

[Christine]

Great action shot

[Katia]

Woow! Terrific!! :)

[Kathy A]

What an awesome movement capture!

[Kitti Nelson]

I don't think anyone has mentioned the timber work and it's fabulous mossy green texture or the delicacy of the foliage fronds against the pigeon - which is spectacular btw. - fav
