Beautiful!
Fantastic!

That is perfect! BIF is among the hardest kind of shot to take.
I hope this subforum remains this popular in the future. It's great to have a place to share these kinds of things.
Thank you. I was very lucky with this one. I was watching Sand Martins nesting in a river bank and the Kestrel came and hovered right above me. Luckily I was already set up for continuous shooting and I got a string of about fifty shots.
Haha most people call me Will. I've heard it all though. :mixedsmi:
That is awesome! I volunteer at a bird of prey rehabilitation center in a nearby city. I've had so many cool experiences through volunteering there. One of these days I want to photograph a release. It would be something special, for sure.I was watching Sand Martins nesting in a river bank and the Kestrel came and hovered right above me. Luckily I was already set up for continuous shooting and I got a string of about fifty shots.
Do you have any other shots of other birds of prey?
Here's a shot of a baby osprey from my Flickr. Some of you have probably seen it already, but oh well. I think it's pretty cute.
Both fantastic shots, I just love raptors.

I don't have too many raptors. I tend to concentrate on insects these days.
Here's an adult Osprey from Arizona a few years ago -
A Sharp Shinned Hawk, also from Arizona -
and another Kestrel from London -
Now I concentrate on macro and don't really use that 300mm as much as I should given how long it took me to pay for it.
Just to show you how good that 300 is though, here's a scruffy young Heron to finish with -
Makes for some great wallpaper. Thank you.
Great shots
I really want that 300mm now.....unfortunately rummaging down the back of the settee for loose change hasn't provided me with quite enough moolah in order to purchase it yet!

Well, I think both are very sharp bug shots. I like good bugs and dragonflies are good bugs.
Want to see what that transparent wing looks like at 100X?
