Post your 'ALMOST' Photos..

[mikew_RIP]

I wish my 'bad framing' was that 'bad', I often amputate whole body parts, a bit of a thumb would be a minor injury
A couple of shots from a sequence of an owl in flight, from a day out at an Owl Sanctuary. D3200 50-300mm f4.5-5.6, AF-C and multi point 1/800th sec ISO200. My first go at birds in flight, and these were the best of the bunch. Given me a new appreciation for those super sharp shots of birds flying. Even though I got everything in focus apart from the Owls in flight, it was a good lesson and I cant wait till next time.

Just learning myself but i dont think i would use multi point on something flying that close to the ground,any mistake with its first selection and it would find loads of grass to focus on,i use multi point when shooting birds against the sky,less chance of it selecting something else.

Cheers for the advice, I'll try single point AF-C next time, should minimise the chance of missing the bird.

Was shooting a cormorant on top of a light pole, so my camera was sideways. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this Great Blue Heron moving. I turned and shot, camera still sideways.

I like that one. It looks like some weird alien creature flying in the other direction.

Thanks. If his head was visible and I had not cut off his feet I would have liked it. LOL

Moon Rise, taken at 9:45pm handheld. Looked great in the camera, looks rotten here. I think I'm gonna stick to my day time moon shots.

Step 1: Print, frame and hang prominently.
Step 2: Tell everyone who asks this is a very successful application of conceptually-negative space.
Step 2(a): Watch as they "reevaluate" in light of this new information.
Step 3: Profit!
