Flight

From My Photo Blog

ISO: 125Exposure: 1/500 secAperture: f/8.0Focal Length: 250mm

While waiting for the ferry, we strolled the beach and there was a flock of sand pipers(?). I tried to approach but they were really flighty. I could only shoot off a few frames from far away as they flew away with the 250mm zoom lens. However, I found that the focus was good and the 1/500 shutter speed captured just the right amount of motion and detail to show the beauty of the birds and their flight.

This is a really tight crop and is almost actual resolution. I examined the whole flock of birds and found the sharpest and most dynamic area to show in the photo.
