We have a lot of blue jays in our yard. And occasionally one flies in front of my camera trap. This bit of jay action was recorded back in November. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 400, f/11 at 1/160th of as second, Cognisys camera box, triggering system and flashes.

I don’t mean to mansplain, but ideally you want to be flying forwards as opposed to sideways.
He’s quite an acrobat! (and evidently startled by your camera trap flash!)
Lovely capture of this jay’s aeronautical ballet. Well done, Sean!
