I am sure that many have gone through this same experience, missing the chance of a lifetime, because of wrong settings, wrong angle, panic or whatever. Here is one example. I waited and waited for the same scene to happen. Nada. telyd Canon 40D 300mm F4 L IS ISO400 0.002 sec (1/640)

That wasn't bad Telyd but it can get better if we can go back and try to get another shot.

Thats a good shot Lyd. This is what I call capturing the "Moment". Of course it could always be better. We all strive to be better and that is good. In the meantime thank God for that shot. I am with the "Mastah" in going back. I like to join you if you & Romy will allow me to. Mabuhay.

Telyds,
If we show this picture to anyone, it will still be described as a parent feeding its young. Ely is correct and I share his view that it is the "moment" that is important here.
And still, from those of us who have not seen this scene in the flesh.. thanks for sharing.
Edu

Thanks Rey, Ely and Edu. I even think that this can be adjusted through PP, removing the leaf that covered and fixing the head. I think I have a series of shots. Kaya lang I do not do PP. Lyd

Amen, Rey. After that, I see the family of YWE hopping fast from one branch to another of a bushy tree, a happy family. What more can I ask for?
Thank you Den. He, he, I am not a Sir. the butterflywatcher is fondly called "Madam Butterfly" by friends in the environment because I am a paro-parozzi, and telyds (for Ate Lyds) in the forum because I am already a grandma. I am into bird-watching (with preference to forest birds) because I can't find another person in the Philippines who would regularly go out for butterflies. teLy:Ds

Bird feeding chick. Super action. Thanks for sharing. I always find these shots so interesting. Especially since I have seen it live on only a very few instances. I guess its not a shot you get an opportunity to capture everyday and you would really want to get it perfect. I feel your frustration as this type of feeling has happened to me as well. Recently I saw some glossy swiftlets flying low over a pond, diving in, and skimming the tip of their wings in the water. The effect of the reflection and the ripples was amazing. Sadly I thought my speed was 1000 but when I looked again it was actually the ISO that was at 1000. Result was Ack ack ack. I went back the same time the very next day but they were not playing in the water anymore. But hope springs eternal, maybe I should look today hmmm......

There will always be endless opportunities Tonj, maybe different birds or different settings- yeah, the most important thing is having the right gear setting. tely:Ds
