[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a pelican shot at "Ranganathittu" bird sanctuary where these wild birds come and breed. He my concentration was to shoot the pelican with a good directional space and also freeze the motion of the wings.

Tip: To freeze the motion of wings, its best to shoot birds when they are gliding towards the nest! at this point they don't beat their wings a lot and just glide.

Hello Goutham! Wonderful pelican. Amazing sky. Fantastic fly. Nice picture. Well done!

A perfect in-flight capture Goutham, even the shaded portions of the underwings are full of fine detail, TFS indeed my friend!

Hello Goutham bhai, Nice shot many times I tried perhaps failed to adjust the speed. Learning process. Probably next time when I meet will learn and pickup. This is beauty. Ganesh

Hi Goutham,

This is such a clean shot in flight. The exposure of the plumage of the spreading wings are just brilliant. Superb framing against the blue sky and I like it.

TFS and best regards,
Jusni

Hi Goutham,
such a splendid shot of pelican in flight.
excellent sharpness and lovely blue sky as the Bg. you have captured the great moment beautifully, exploiting the light giving the pelican a good view.
Really beautiful shot which I believe is very difficult to freeze.
outstanding shot.

regards,
Foozi
