Re: July 2013 photos
Thankyou all for posting such inspiring photos!!!
Competition for July will now be locked for judging.
All the entries for July can be viewed all in the same width and all on the same page at ....
http://www.ozervnews.com/photojul13.htm
The winner of last month has picked out photo number 3 as the winner for July 2013.
It was a photo taken by Chuck (or his navigator?) of an eagle that was disturbed as it enjoyed a meal of fresh mangled kangaroo on the roadside.
The ability to catch the bird in flight in front of the vehicle is amazing in itself!!!
Congratulation Chuck!!!

Catching them photographically is a challenge which unfortunately based on the number on the side of tarmac, doesn't seem to be a problem for fast moving vehicles.
Was told that unlike crows, in order for eagles to alight, they need to be headed upwind. If [edit: you are] travelling down wind, that means they have to take flight into your path - lots of close calls at best, and well, ...you get the picture. (no pun).

Experience is a wonderful thing. It helps you recognise a mistake when repeated.

Re: July 2013 photos
Thanks for the kind words folks.
Actually, 'twas me that took the piccy... Navigator was driving &, anyway, she has trouble simply holding my camera - being a mollydooker (left handed).
It was my first attempt at using the 'action' setting.
Just pointed & pressed the button... pure arse!

Re: July 2013 photos
Chuck,
I enlarged the two final contenders to the point of pixellation, and at the step before that happened, yours had the focal plane centred on the wedgie. I thought that was amazing, assuming auto-focus and the time between setting that and taking the shot from a moving vehicle!
However, the technical aspect was #3 to 'subject' & 'action/composition'.
Getting more like a camera club every day, eh?
Next, we'll be demanding camera make & model, lens used, f-stop & shutter speed!

Re: July 2013 photos
Yeah... my shutter speed is not what it used to be, like most things as you get older - reaction times tend to be a little slow... especially in the area of the foofal valve!!!
