Still trying to get the perfect shot of these birds in flight as they fly past my balcony. If I have the 70-200 on the camera they come in too close, if I have the kit lens on they are too far away. I can't win, but I think I am getting close.

Good Capture

The perfect images in my opinion is when they are just barely above water gliding

They are fascinating and have a character all thier own don't they

Yup, definitely the answer, you need more lenses and more bodies.

Great shot.

LD you are right about the shot gliding just above the water, but then I can't sit on the balcony with an ale whilst I wait for them to come :wink: :lol:
