landscape and nature dive bombers

this was my first attempt at a bit of nature photography, and its

BLOODY HARD! you have to be super fast, but i think i caught this

quite well, all 3 different birds its almost like a before middle

and after, let me no what you think please.

Tiff, I think that if I were you, I'd crop this one and not your other one. I'd crop out everything on this one except the bird in the middle. The other two are out of focus and distract from the one that is interesting. Crop the top part too. I can't get a larger view on my computer so I'm somewhat limited. You're correct these are very hard to do. To shoot birds, you need to use a tripod and a cable switch. You also need fast shutter speeds with a big telephoto lens. These are very expensive but some people rent them or borrow them and sometimes you can find bargains on ebay especially if you're willing to get a manual focus lens. Anyway, keep after it--these kinds of shots are fun to do. Hope this helps.
