Bird in Flight
Today's photo idea is a bird in flight. Point your camera to the sky and capture the grace and beauty of a bird floating through the air. Seagulls, pelicans, hawks, eagles, owls, hummingbirds, ducks, geese, or even pigeons - any bird will do. You could even try for a whole flock of birds in flight.
Of course photographing birds in flight can be tricky to time correctly. Quick tip - you can increase your odds of seeing a bird in flight by put a bird feeder in your backyard. Also, you will probably want to use a zoom lens for this assignment.
