Description

I was out photographing Falcons and Hawks today. This is my second time I have gone out to shoot these birds in Flight. Jim (nameless_wildness) has raised the bar so high on capturing these birds in flight that it is embarrasing to post images of these birds unless they are 100% perfect. These birds fly so fast that it is very, very difficult to catch them in flight. They nose dive toward a prey at up to 200 miles/hour. I like to thank Jim for helping me with all my questions regarding his camera settings on various of his shots. I'd like to also thank you all for viewing this image. Your invaluable comments are always welcome.

My thoughts exactly about Jim. He has indeed raised the bar. I have a feeling my gull in flights will never find their way out here, lol. But i sure as hell wouldnt be embarrassed to upload a photo like this one. Phew! What a shot!!!! Gorgeous bird, and against such a blue sky as well. Awesome capture!!! Do you mind if i suggest something? Can you perhaps clone out that string behind him. I much rather get the illusion that you really captured this is the wild you know. #:o) Have a wonderful weekend!!! #:O)
