How this one ingredient in birds-in-flight always wow people

Birds-in-flight is super fun and challenging. I always try to get non-sky background because it looks more pleasant this way. It always takes a lot of planning and skill to nail an in-flight photo of a bird which is eye-level to the camera, with decent light, no harsh shadow and with non-distracting background. But one thing I find the most fun is when the bird turns their head in mid-air. In this video I shared a few photos and talked about them in more details. Hope you enjoy!
