’s now 20 years that I have been trying to shoot animals in flight, whether birds, insects or mammals, even grandchildren and dogs - it is all a learning curve and lots of luck too. I do not say it becomes easier, but panning goes better when it’s a light lens and not 7 kg wobbling on your left-hand. These are recently edited images, although some were taken some time ago. I have >500k of images taken over the past 16 years that need looking at and require post processing. I only recently learned how to edit better, with the result that I am re-doing all my images.
