Smokin’ Arrows

I got the chance to play with my 600mm lens today. Not easy as these beauties tend to fly rather fast and are in and out of the frame very very quickly.

Took more than 400 photographs; thank God for digital and that we are no longer on wet film.

This was one of the best (if I do say so myself) that I took. With the clouds skitting by almost as fast as the Hawks, no two pictures were the same.

I can see why Carole spends Mondays at Scampton
