I'm not sure we should let Tab and Fargo participate.... She has some stunning photos.

I think they won a few months ago, the photoshop contest or something(She edited Fargo and one of her horses together).
But I do agree, her photos of Fargo flying are absolutely beautiful!

We need a video contest one month with the same theme. I've got vids but it's hard to pick out one pic. The pic doesn't convey the whole story. Guess we need some more "play time" to get to get some new pics, LOL.

Hahahaha!! Sorry guys, I blame Fargo for being so photogenic

Here we go.. Our flight picture!

 

[thekarens]

Do eating or wrecking stuff count as actions?

That sounds like they qualify as action shots to me

 

[Neenie]

my Puku loves his baths

 

[Sterling1113]

Neenie - beautiful picture. love that!

Wendy- how awesome! I wish my phone's camera was good enough for flight shots.. they're all blurry LOL

 

[ruffledfeathers]

Neenie - beautiful picture. love that!

Just a little 'cheater' tip---before I had a camera with a fast enough shutter, I used to take video of Gilbert and then grab still frames from the video. There are some phone videos of him flying that I took screen shots of frames. But yes, it is way easier since I got my better camera, and with a wide angle.

 

[Biceps]

I hope you all like it

 

[strudel]

and then grab still frames from the video.

hmmmm, that'd be good if I knew how, and if she didn't immediately stop doing anything interesting the minute I pull the camera out. Whenever I try to take her picture, she just stops and looks at me.

Wendy - Great shot!

That bathing shot is also priceless. Love the birdie expressions when they are bathing.

I'll have to figure that out and see if I can do that on my phone. Or bribe my husband and use his nice camera

What about "caught in the act"?

Gave Pascal an almond while he was on my shoulder(my mistake) and boyfriend looked over to see he gave me a new, natural hair product.. (I ponytailed my hair to AVOID mess, thank you!!)
At least he wanted to share his favorite thing(almonds) with me..
