Description
This is one of a few shots (which i will post later) i took recently
I wish the weather was just a bit better and i didnt have to take pictures in rain and with no decent light
As you all know the rate of the wings beat is up to 80 per second
Unfortunately due to weather chalenge i hade to inrease ISO all up to 1600, so i can somewhat freeze the moment to see the wings :o)
This high ISO resulted poor picture quality though
BTW, at anything below 1/800 speed you can see only pattern, but not the wings
These guys are crazy fast !!!
Oh, and the heartbeat rate of these birds is about 1250 per second but can drop to 80-150 as well
