As I view images through the LCD window of my camera, it's almost automatic to delete anything that looks blurry. But lately I've been keeping a few that might, because of the blur, help capture the motion of the birds.
The other day, I was trying to take in-flight pictures of Blue Jays, a silly thing to try when the overcast skies were forcing me to use slow shutter speeds. But I still tried, capturing these blurry images that I think still looked kinda cool.
Let me know what you think. Am I silly to keep them? Do you see any beauty in them? Are they TOO blurry to keep? Do you have one that you particularly like? Why? Or should I just keep deleting?
















Alvin, I agree! Birds are so relaxing to watch. Thanks for your comment.
Arlene, thanks - I'm glad you liked them!

Mary, I think you're right. If even just one part of the bird was in focus, it would be more dramatic. But all I got was the feeder in focus (cause IT wasn't moving!!) Thanks for your comment and important point.

Beautiful form! I most enjoyed the ones with a tiny bit in focus, face or beak.

Cindy, I hadn't thought that but I agree that everytime you post an image, you're puttin' yourself out there, baring your soul in a way. thanks for your nice comment.
Carol, Jason, Ellen, thanks too for your thumbs up!

I think these pics are cool, Nancy! It's fun when you have a couple of blurry shots in a row... it helps you to "see" the motion.
