White-tailed Hawk (Buteo albicaudatus)

I'm always looking at great flight shots at Birdforum.. I know this one is not a great one, at least when compared with some I've seen here, but I like it anyway.. Maybe Digishooter can tyell me what I should do to do better ones in the future!

its a very nice shot,my advice is to take hundreds and choose the best.not every shot even on the same burst is of the same quality.though settings should be prejudged

:clap: :clap: Congrats on your first flight-shot, Luiz!!! :loveme: I remember, when I posted my first (and for the moment only) one you said you had none... but here you are! It is a matter of opportunities... and skills at panning (I'm useless at that). The right settings help, of course, but the hand of the photographer is the main thing. This is my oppinion. I hope you have more chances to delight us with your birds in flight!!! :t: :t: :t:
