So, I was trying to get a good flying shot of this little guy, and did a burst of 6 shots. I was completely amazed to find out that he was upside down in one of the shots! The shot before and after registered at the same exact time, and 1 second later. Both shots had him upright. But this one he was completely upside down.
I thought it was pretty cool! (but then again, I'm easily amused. :)

I've often been caught up in the moment of taking photos that I loose focus on what I'm shooting to come home and load up the images to go.. what... where.. how did that happen..
like a bird going upside down, or a cat yawning.. etc..

Sometimes, neat things happen when the shutter is open and you don't see the action through the view finder. A couple years ago we were on Bald Head Island, NC and I was taking a shot of a passing ferry. To my surprise, the shot included a ray, that had leaped out of the water at that precise moment, flying through the air.

I remember being amazed when I saw this one from a sequence, he didn't just rotate through his axis (barrel roll) he did an immelman in the process. Amazing!
Are you sure you were holding your camera correctly?...:)
haha, it actually made me wonder for a second!
Check the EXIF data on your original. It could be that your camera momentarily flipped the orientation as you followed the bird overhead (it's common).

nope, nice try though. :) As someone pointed out -- look at his feet. His feet and tail are to the side. He's just flipped his head further. The unfortunate thing is, I deleted some of the files. The shot before was listed as 3:55:57pm. This shot is listed at 3:55:57 -- I deleted the next shot, and the shot after that is 3:56:00. I know he has upright in the shot I deleted, but I don't know the time. I'd love to know just how quickly he turned upside down and back again. It sure wasn't noticeable through the lens. :)
Wendy would've known if it was an error in the camera. If the bird's upside down she was below it taking the picture. If the camera was upside down, she must have been above the bird looking down. I'm sure the other shots in the series would have revealed that much :)
