These are some shots I took at Halfpenny Airfield in Wolverhampton on a beautiful sunny day in June earlier this year. Crows are almost all black but the sun was getting quite low in the sky and I got this shot with the crows one wing fully illuminated by the sun while the rest of it was in relative shade.
My friend goes there regularly and had been putting some snacks down for the birds in the carpark at the airfield, where some crows always came over to feed on the snacks.
This was my second attempt at capturing birds in flight after familiarising myself with the pro capture feature on my Olympus camera. What a great feature for birds in flight!
Some more images
The image below was one of many magpies which where trying to pick up any of the scraps left over by the crows.
And here is a colour photo of the main building at the airfield.
Thanks for taking a look at my photography

Stunning images
After my first few shot of an heron over a year ago, taking photos of birds and other fast moving objects has become tasking for me
Thanks.
In my limited experience of this type of photography I think you have to find a way to predict where your subject will be, ready for shooting, for the most successful results.
In my case with these crows when I put food down for them I saw that they would always fly up to a post above where the food was, before either flying away again or flying down to the food. This meant I could just point my camera at the top of the post and click away when a crow either flew to or away from the post.
This was much easier than trying to chase them around with the camera and lens.
Brilliant.
I think I used that method to achieve my first and only good result with this typa shot.
Thank you for the tutoring man
