not bad, the eagle would probably have benefited from a stop or so of exposure compensation and I always try to crop birds in flight so that they have more space in front of them than behind. Give them somewhere to fly into if you see what I mean. Looks like you nailed the focus though, which in itself is a challenge on birds in flight.

well done, keep clicking

lol ahh well i just set the camera in one of the many automatic functions and tried to follow the bird the best i could with continuous photos.. about 3 per second

and a cobalt blue sky would have been awesome but the weather just wasnt playing by the same rules as me

I always feel disapointed when looking at photos from a DSLR.  They always look shoddy imo.  Where the light and dark meet, theres fluffyness.  
Same with my dads 350D.

I cant work it out, I thought they were supposed to be the daddies?

the light and dark meeting gives a little chromatic aberration (sp?) even on this DSLR its a digital camera thing really, its far better than my compact and with a better lens it would be better

It wasnt a dig at your photo taking skillzzz by any means, it just always seems to fall short of what im expecting.

Fluffyness... like flaring stuff? just means the exposure is a touch off. :)

Ive seen photos where you can almost count every hair on someones head, and the next one has been slightly out of focus giving this effect. Basically depends on the camera and how good the focusing system is.

Ive seen quality photos that make my jaw drop from people who have the same camera as me, however most of my shots are pap. Its 30% camera and 70% user, combine the two well and you get great shots :)

Its the rest of their collection, the rejects are the ones that tell the tale. Even some professionals get it wrong regularly, they just take far more pictures to give them a better chance of success.

I know from some of the stuff I have done, you dont always get perfection when taking a picture, no matter what equipment you have.

Sometimes you are lucky and every one comes out perfect, but you can equally be hit with times when you might get one reasonable photo out of a hundred.

The one thing you can depend on is the more photos you take, the more you think about what you are photographing, the better the results are going to be.

Better equipment might give you a higher chance of producing better images, but it will not alther the photographers capability.

A lot still depends on the subject too.

This isnt about the DSLR, its about the lens on the front and the guy (or girl) pressing the button.

Having good glass is part of it, knowing the limits of your glass is more of it, and nailing the exposure is pretty vital.

And of course, nailing the exposure and focus and composition all in the same shot requires no small amount of luck.
