My triggering system isn’t fast enough to deliberately capture birds in flight like this, but occasionally I get lucky when another bird, or a squirrel, or a falling leaf, or who knows what else triggers the system at the same time as a bird is flying by. In this case a tufted titmouse was flying by. As to who took the photo, we’ll never know. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens 35mm, ISO 400, f/14 at 1/250th of a second, Cognisys camera box, trail monitor and flashes.
Or maybe he’s just a really slow titmouse. And all the other titmice were like “that Nips The Titmouse, he’s so slow he’ll just end up working at a gas station or something” and he was all like “no! I will amount to something! I’m going to be famous!” and they were all like “whatever Nips.” But then every night he practiced trying to set off the camera trap in his neighborhood, and now he’s finally done it and he’s the star of the Sean Crane Photo Blog but it’s not really giving him the boost he thought it would because none of the other titmice have access to the internet, so they have no idea about any of this.

That is so cool.

I 1000% agree with Louis on this one.
I was just thinking how good Nips might look in a new outfit. Just a thought.
oh whaty great pic.) wow, how often does this happen, the bird was diving for his meal, and the poor leaf happeing to be just falling.
I think this little guy looks more like he’s levitating more than flying! Awesome!!!!
I never realized how red they were on the underside. Amazing shot!
