i cant imagine taking a photo of a flying bird using a tripod .. !! ..
they move so fast ..
obviously i'm totally ignorant about all that ..
however i can imagine the excitement of getting such a perfect image as this .. magic ..
its an amazing photo .. i'm in awe ..
many congratulations on the red .. :)
