Linking to Wild Bird Wednesday
Today's Tip:
For birds in flight, set your camera to a continuous auto focus mode if so equipped. On Canon it's called AI Servo and I believe Nikon calls it Dynamic Area AF. These modes allow your auto focus system to keep up with the changes in distance from camera to subject.

FANTASTIC shot Brian....my compliments.
Greetings, Joop
Beautiful capture of an ugly bird that serves a great purpose in the food chain. Have a super week!
HI Brian Stunning capture. I can't do this on my camera but I am happy with what I can do.
you make it sound so easy - you continuously get sharp beautiful images so I think it would be fair to throw in a little 'BrianKing' magic. Great shot.
Wow...the red head really pops...great shot Brian!!! I will have to try that feature on my Nikon.
Thanks for the tip!
Beautiful photo and great tip!
A stunning flight shot Brian...
i like nicki's comment. ;) i've never tried that mode (heck, i haven't tried most modes) but thanks for the tip.
this is a GREAT shot!!
Fabulous! Without AI Servo, I'd never get even half the flight shots that I achieve!
I have never had success with AI Servo. Your shot of this vulture is fantastic. You obviously know what you're doing.
Wow, what a shot!
I wish I could say the TV is a handsome bird...but I would be lying. ;))
I use the continuous servo focus mode with my Nikon, then I set my auto focus area mode to single point. Then when I keep the object I'm following in the center of the view, it usually stays in focus.
Nice shot of that turkey vulture. They aren't the prettiest but they sure know how to hang glide.
I do shoot in that mode, but my telephoto lens is not powerful enough to get the kind of clarity you get ... to say nothing of the talent of the photographer :) This is my favorite bird ... I have posted about him many times. I would say that, had you stuck around a few minutes longer, he would have winked at you :)

Great in-flight photo and thanks for the photo tip.
...just amazing Brian
What an awesome in-flight photo. You continue to amaze me with your photography. Thanks for the info on shooting. Maybe one of these days I will get one in flight. genie
Fantastic shot! Look at that wing span!
Fantastic shot- I don't know if my Sony has this or not.
WoW! Beautiful photo!

Pentax just calls it continuous focus... great shot!
As I looked at the picture, I said, "How in the world?" and you answered it! Amazing. I use the little "running figure" on the dial on my Nikon for my "road" shots. That sounds something like what you are talking about.
Love your stealth missile!
Great capture.
Great capture of a bird that is necessary, but one that we have too many of here in our area. Hundreds of them were hanging out on our dams and since they are "protected", little could be done to stop the damage they were doing.
Love the Turkey Vulture! Watching them in flight is hypnotic.
Very nice capture!
Beautiful capture!
Beautiful capture!
Fabulous photo. Thanks for the tip. I will have to figure that out one of these days.
Great capture!!!
Super shot!
Great shot - the auto focus modes really do help in these situations.
Thats a bird I dont get to see!
