Galahs in the Fire Mist

I'm stumbling around introductory digital photography.  Given I was already listening to podcasts when I bought my digital SLR camera it didn't take long before This Week in Photography was on my ipod.  Through that podcast I found Scott Bourne's work.  And I really liked his recent work Cranes in the Fire Mist.

I appreciate the history of the work.  The forethought, the research, the annual return to the same spot and luck in obtaining the shot he visualised 12 years ago.

This morning I crossed the Swan River on the way to work to see a flock of galahs flying by the bridge during the early morning light as a mist was settling across the river.  I now want to get a photo of these birds in flight.
