Precision flying! (Explored) - a photo on Flickriver

Precision flying! (Explored)

            I discovered it's not easy taking photos of flying birds!  Once the camera's set up as you think it should be, there's a large degree of luck involved.

On the last morning of our holiday we decided we'd go back to Lake Tohopekaliga (... I do love that name!) and feed the bread we had left to the birds there.  My friend Sue threw the bread while I attempted to take photos ... but it was me who had to wash my T-shirt when I got back.  I was just glad it wasn't my head!!  :-))
