I decided to try and capture Bandit in flight, since she's ALWAYS flying to me as soon as I get more than 5 feet away from her.
This is what I ended up capturing instead. :whatever::laughing:





(Apparently my little point and shoot camera doesn't have a "Sports" setting, so everytime i clicked, it would take forever to focus, and by the time it was focused she had already landed.)

She's still crazy cute though, so I figured I'd still post what I got.

Oh yes, I'm also unable to take flight shots of my birds. The best I got was really blurry photos and even to get these it took a lot of tries.
I also don't have a good camera. At least you were able to get a couple of good pictures of your beautiful Bandit!

aww she is adorable!!

Thanks! She is really sweet, and is quickly turning into a velcro bird.

She's the last in my flock that needs to be convinced that pellets are food, hence the messy face. I feed her ground up pellets sprinkled on top of her moist sprouts.

I clicked this thread hoping to see a budgie in flight. Lol, boy I was I surprised! She's so cute though.

Very cute!

I love photography, so here's something that I can suggest with total confidence! (Still getting the confidence with budgies hahaha) If your camera has a "high-speed mode" or something that allows you to click the shutter once and take multiple frames, activate that setting in Sport Mode. On my Nikon, I have it set to where I click the button once and it keeps shooting until I let it up. That way, you'll have lots of pictures, and hopefully one will be focused!

Good luck

She definitely is Crazy Cute!

Bandit is too cute Michelle!

That second picture!

She's so cute

And Beth is right about the multiple burst setting - if your camera has one, set it to that. Also, if you've got a DSLR set the camera to shutter speed priority if your light is bright enough. Get the speed up as high as you can and click!

I have yet to get an in flight pic. The light isn't bright enough in my house and my flash gun is broken lol

Oh so beautiful!!! :loveeyes:

I love the red-eye effect on Bandit! She looks spooky cute!

Awwww, those are great pictures! The second one is just adorable — I love close-ups of budgie faces!
I can imagine how difficult it must be to take a picture of a bird in flight. I have a hard enough time trying to get a good picture of Angel with her wings stretched out.
