20 Fantastic Pictures of Birds Flying

Posted by Nate Kay

Nature is never an old subject when it comes to photography. It’s constantly changing, moving, and it’s hard to duplicate it’s natural beauty in the manmade world. Birds in particular are very beautiful, especially inflight. Usually it takes a fast shutter speed, telephoto lens, and some great focusing techniques to catch them just right. Then again, sometimes it just takes pointing whatever you have in your hands and hoping it turns out. Here are 20 fantastic pictures of birds flying that turned out great.

If you really like birds, then you should check out our hummingbird pictures and pigeon pictures.

    I took my first photo of a bird in flight not too long ago, it was almost pure luck and a bunch of post-processing. I’m really excited about how it turned out, and pretty proud of the photo.
