One from our trip to the Hawk Conservancy for a Sunday afternoon of photography of birds of prey.
I was so chuffed to get the moment that the lanner falcon caught the lure. This was one of a fast series of burst shots with a high iso (3200) to achieve a fast shutter speed (1/1600) without too large an aperture (f/16) to maximise depth of field with lens at maximum of 135mm - hence it is a noisy cropped shot.
Get me (Jackie) making out I understand those settings
No heme this week
@randystreat I'd have looked an amazing photographer otherwise!!! @grammyn hmm camera did do as I told it to ( this occasion!) @lyndamcg the bird or me???? Thanks @wakelys and the falconer's skill is impressive @ludwigsdiana not as good as you and your birds Diana! Thank you. X @joysabin point camera and got lucky ( for fish eagle I got in focus splash every time and no talons in shot and it's much bigger bird!!) @shutterbug49 pure absolute fluke and luck!!
