[QUOTE="J-see, post: 432031, member: 31330"] This is by far the hardest BIF I can shoot here. Its flight could correctly be called insane. It's the only bird I know that actually stops flying, lets itself drop until a couple of feet above the ground, often upside down, and then continues its flight. I had to seriously underexpose to get my shutter up for this aperture and of many attempts, this qualifies as one of the better. It's still a very average shot. I was amazed I did not just get the bird I was tracking, there was another I hadn't even seen. [ATTACH=CONFIG]146986._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here's a (crappy) shot during such a "fall". [ATTACH=CONFIG]146997._xfImport[/ATTACH] I know their habitat now. It's going to be a challenge getting good shots in.
