Rainbow Bee Eater in flight
Been out this last week or so trying to get a decent image of these little fellas as they dive & bob around shasing insects. I have managed plenty of 'almost' shots, but today raised s/speed from 1/1300s to 1/2500s and seem to have nailed it
As always feedback welcome
Phil
I would be happy to get a shooting chance at but it is
not to be found near marshes.
Absolutely, cool take, Phil. It is the first time I see the ex-
tended tail… very cool!
Light is free… capturing it is not!

G'day mate
The original image was 'sooc' - so here's the crop you have suggested + a tiny bit of lightening on the head & eye ... Thoughts?

Nice one! G'day mateGaryA wrote: I think there is a bit of improvement. What do you think?
I'm okay with it either way - I am just chuffed that it is such a beaut image after heaps of others that were 'almost' there but not display-perfect
