Facebook Pic of the Week: 31 August to 6 September 2015

Yes, we are starting with our regular features again. Sorry about the lag :)

The theme ran for the week of 31 August to 6 September 2015 on Facebook was #OnTheWing, and it was all about birds in flight. A tricky photographic subject, especially for the little fast birds.

Our pick this week goes to Clint Ralph with this Malachite Kingfisher. You typically need a shutter speed of 1/8000 to capture these in sharp flight, and they are very small. Pretty huh?
See more of Clint's photo on his FACEBOOK PAGE.

Hey friends! As stated in our last post, we decided to select a couple of photos from 8 to 31 December 2014 to feature for the month of December, since it was a festive season month where activity and posts were lower than normal.

So, without further a due, here are our selections. One "wildlife, one "macro", one "avian" and one "landscape" photo!
