 I was in downtown Chicago the other day shooting architecture when I thought I'd try shooting the birds. Its not an easy task, but a fun new experiment nonetheless!
This guy was the best. I don't think its too bad for a kit lens and my first attempt at really panning birds.

Black and white worked better as it wasn't shot at ideal lighting time and the color was kinda boring.

Very nice panning shot. I need to try some of these. The composition is spot on showing the building and the blur.
