Royal Flight Photography

Laughing Gulls weren’t the only thing taking to the airways. We had a great variety of birds, one of them were Royal Terns.

One of the great things about the location we go to do our panning practice is the birds are flying nearly eyelevel with us while at the same time, giving us a really clean background. It’s the perfect set up.

Sharon just got a 500VR lens (honest, it’s hers) and being the dutiful husband, I had to test the lens and break it in so she doesn’t get hurt by it. That’s because the 500VR is one sharp lens! I’ve used it for the Reno Air Races with killer results but after today, I’m thinking it might be my Sharon’s perfect flight lens.
