australian Ibis in flight

[avkomp]

d3 600f4 1/5000 f4 iso 400 handheld and full frame.

been spending a bit of time at lake belvedere at homebush.
probably the best place in sydney to practice your BIF techniques.
late arvo is best for the spot and you will get cormorants, pelicans, ibis, spoonbills, assorted ducks flying past fairly often, allowing you to try various things out to see what works best.

this guy was kind enough to bank near perfectly as it began a flare for landing. in an ideal world it would have got a bit more angle on to catch the light, but overall pretty happy with this one.

Wow - captured the light, exposure and moment perfectly here - I'd be happy with that one too
