I am a retired school teacher. My project for the last three years (my wife calls it obsession!) has been to photograph small birds in flight. It has been the most frustrating yet the most rewarding thing I have done.
My images are shown in low resolution to help prevent copying. The original images are much sharper and most of them are full frame or nearly so.
I hope you enjoy looking at these beautiful creatures as much as I enjoy photographing them.
A recent article about my photography can be found here at Shuttersalt:
