Collective Shoot - "Things with Wings"

[Gdad]

Hey there all- I am hosting my first Collective Shoot over on Nikon Cafe'- it is Collective Shoot #85 - Things with Wings. I know several DIS'rs who are also NC'rs- and if not yet then here is your big chance to join.

The topic will be “Things with Wings.” This could be Birds, or Bugs, maybe an Aircraft, or maybe even a Hockey Player or two if you are lucky enough to be going to a Stanley Cup game during the contest period. Since it is a long weekend here in the States the shoot will run for 72 hours, beginning at 12:01 am Saturday May 24th and run until midnight on Monday May 26th. Begin posting images at your convenience.

Please share up to 3 medium size images.

Be Creative- and Enjoy!

So I hope to see some of you all participating over the Holiday Weekend. Feel free to post them there and here. And for you non-Nikon folks or if you just don't want to join over there then just post some pictures over here! I would love to see them!

Great pictures- feel free to post some examples here now if you like. Just remember the gist of the collective shoot is to get out and take NEW pictures during the shoot.

At last, I have a valid excuse to give my wife for eating lunch at Hooters tomorrow.

....just kidding. I think it would be better for me to stick with my original plan and shoot at the zoo this weekend.

LOLOL - Even though it took me a second.

DH recently bought me a new 2.8 lens, so I have been practicing with it on the birds that come to the feeders on our deck. These are all cropped.

I will also check out your thread on Nikon Cafe, Gdad. I sometimes lurk there, but have not been brave enough to post any photos.

I'm new to playing. This isn't technically wings, but my daughter said she was flying and besides, I love this picture

I'm leaving for Disney tomorrow!!! Just wanted everybody to know why I'm not responding or commenting on other's pictures.

From a trip to the Birmingham Zoo today. Nikon D80 + Sigma 150mm Macro on all:

And, this last one is not a thing with wings, but I really liked it anyway!

Took this on Saturday at the NC State Zoo....one of the only good pictures I shot at ISO 200, everything else was ISO 800....by mistake.

DH spotted this scarlet tanager this morning when he was fishing so he called me...luckily he hung around long enough for me to grab my camera and get to DH's fishing spot before flying off. I haven't seen one in several years so I was pretty excited to be able to get some pictures of one.
