I would say yes… its implied by the title wind beneath my wings.

Splitting hairs:
The description says “things airborne”, nothing about flying.Thus, I would assume that a bird that was airborne but not flying would, in fact, be acceptable.
I don’t know how I would get such a picture, though.

Recently dead animals aren’t allowed on Fark.
(You could do a skeleton, that isn’t a problem)
So, for this theme, neither of those would be allowed.

July 12, 2008 at 5:44 pm #17100mopsyParticipantJuly 12, 2008 at 5:51 pm #17101ElsinoreKeymasterDilemma-decided on my first two already, torn on the third.
Thunderbirds?- http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3269/2656487045_67f17f2c74_b.jpg
or Osprey?- http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3188/2657312846_cbb2825d29.jpgI like the Thunderbirds myself. Very dynamic photo.
what do you all think of this?
I agree with Mopsy about enlarging. Maybe crop it down?
“parachuting” hawk:
That is gorgeous
July 12, 2008 at 7:08 pm #17102lokisbongParticipantThat little sob is only ten feet from me and that is as cropped as I could get without it getting blurry.I guess I will try again.With bigger birds.well maybe a little closer but not nearly as clear as I would like.
went back at it with Gimp2 and this is as good as it gets with my skills in photo manipulation.I was sitting here reading this and realized the picture is only slightly smaller than life sized.

Thanks! I had to do some selective dodging and burning though, so I can’t enter it unfortunately.
Now I know I need a better camera.Not one of my pictures of flying birds looks even 10 % as good as that “parachuting” hawk.
This was shot with my 300mm f/4. Unfortunately, birds are one of those things that tend to be difficult without serious glass, and even with that lens I **always** wish I had something longer shooting birds, and almost all of the shots with it have been cropped significantly.
There is one way around that I’ve seen used successfully if you have a feeder and an IR remote – set up the camera on a tripod pointing at the feeder and trigger it from like 20-30 feet away…
July 13, 2008 at 4:02 am #17104sooshParticipantq: would this qualify for this subject?
July 13, 2008 at 4:42 am #17105ElsinoreKeymasterThose are flippers, not wings 😉

What if they’re just pining?
