Duel

I think I'm going to buy a bird feeder. Visiting my parents last weekend gave me the opportunity to park myself in a deck chair with a beer and a remote shutter release to capture a few birds fighting for position on the not-quite-big-enough steps of the feeder. The birds move so fast it's nearly impossible to see what's happening with the naked eye. All I know was I had to get all my settings right ahead of time and then as soon as I saw two of them move towards eachother, I just had to hold down my shutter release.

 

This is why I love digital. I don't at all mind having to delete 200 frames if I get to keep just one like this.
