Race is on!!! - 2008/05/05 11:20 ooowahh you are so lucky I never seem to be able to shoot flying birds on my camera. I can't really make out what it is? A hawk?

Thanks for sharing

Race is on!!! - 2008/05/05 14:34 Normally I can't either. I've got image stabilizer and most of the time it has difficulties focusing on moving images.

I was just trying to shoot these two mallards and never noticed the cat until after I got home.....

I'm new at birding photography too. My camera has autofocus and image stabilization. However, it causes problems photographing moving objects.....

Re:Race is on!!! - 2008/05/07 16:08 As much as cameras get more advances they also seem to create more problems. I got the same problem. (with my new Canon 570)


Do you like this photo eventhough the bird is sitting still? I know his name now in English, Dutch and Arabic - but not in Hebrew (the language of the country I am living in)

Re:Race is on!!! - 2008/05/07 17:12 It is called a Hoopoe in English (and a Hop in Dutch and a Hud-Hud in Arabic) and I've seen it quite a few times over the years. This one seems to live on that patch of green between two high-roads (because he is always there when I pass -on foot).

I had an Olympus before, and was very satisfied from it. However it decided to desert me after only 2-and-a-half years

Re:Race is on!!! - 2008/05/07 19:25 Wow. I looked up Hoopoe and it's related to the Kingfisher we have here in Livermore CA. Neat little bird. Very pretty too.

Waht happened to your Olympus? Sorry to hear that.

Re:Race is on!!! - 2008/05/09 13:56 My Olympus started to act 'funny', taking photos where I was just asking it to see the photos that I had taken already... saying things like 'transfer photos to pc' where I opened it without having the usb connection stuck in it... I really was desparate. I gave some bangs on it and it started working again (strangely enough) and then, after one day it repeated it pattern without further bangs on it to behave


so. I threw it out. unfortunately with the card inside - not a huge problem but simply stupid of me.


now i have this cannon 570 powershot who I like to get under my control. but it is so complex that till now it has control over me instead of the other way around


caught a 'flying' bird with it though and I felt so good ......... until I realised that this bird was puting up a show and just made it easy on me
