This week my black and white challenge topic is Anything in Flight. You can include, planes, kites, balloons, birds, rockets, etc. I hope you have FUN with this challenge.
Be creative if you feel like it, and have fun with this challenge this week. Remember your photos needs to be black and white, desaturated, sepia (brown tones) or selective color. I’m looking forward to seeing what you all come up.
Please note that I have a series of Tips from Cee page. I posted several tips for black and white you may want to check out.
Feel free to take new photos or dig through your archives. The main object of this challenge is to have fun.

I’ve got a couple of inanimate objects in flight. But the beauty is more in the surroundings.https://travelwithintent.com/2023/03/23/in-flight-3/

Great challenge. I really wanted to use some of my flying squirrels, but the quality of those photos is so poor, I just couldn’t. Someday, when I have some spare money (hah!) maybe I’ll buy a better quality motion camera and get better pictures of flying squirrels.

I understand. It’s just like I’d like a 18-600 lens for my camera, but I can’t justify the price of it. 😀 😀

I actually bought a separate camera — a Panasonic with a Leica lens — because it was less expensive to buy the camera than the lens! I now have a 12-300 (24-600 sort of), but it took me a very LONG time to buy it and I sold some spare cameras too. But in the end, the resolution of that camera was good, but not good enough. Eventually, I had to get one for the better camera, but at least it gave me the long lens when I needed it and until I could finally buy one.

I’ve done that route too. I sold the camera because it was lousy at long range. The lens I’m looking at would work wonders 😀 😀

From other people who have finally bought big expensive lenses, we had to save money. I put away every few dollars I could for nearly a year and Trent, who has the same lens, did the same thing. I’m glad I got it when I did because now I’m saving money for Garry’s new hearing aids and my new front teeth — and that is going to be a LOT of money. It’s why we never go anywhere or do anything and haven’t had a vacation in five years. Actually, come to think of it, 7 years.
It’s ironic that the glass for the cameras cost more than the camera. That 12-300mm lens cost about the same amount as the camera on which it is mounted — and I bought that second hand from a friend who was upgrading and had barely used it, so it was an incredibly good deal for me. But he’s done with upgrading and I think I’m done buying camera equipment — except for little things — batteries, and filters and such.

Love the humming birds.
Wonderful creation of God!
It’s a tough job to get birds wing without blur!
What’s your experience Cee Neuner?
LikeLike
It depends on the bird. Actually with humming birds in flight I want the blur. Seagulls and raptors, I prefer to get clear wings. 😀 😀
