Lovely, nice DOF too. Are you still doing those great Macro shots?.

I went to Shutttleworth last Saturday and was so excited my photography went out of the window. A couple of good shots but nothing like yours. It was amazing the owls literally fly at head hight through the watchers, but they're so fast it's really hard to get good shots.

They were having a photographers day, and a they all had the hugest lenses I've ever seen including one tiny woman whose lense was almost bigger than her. :lol:

Those are great DY. Next time I'm going to prepare more, this is the best shot I got, I over estimated the light and couldn't get a fast enough shot all day.

Got the owl nicely there, the wing blur wouldn't bother me. Getting it all in the shot is always a killer - I've got some killer shots that are ruined by clipped wings. Main thing is to try and find a place without people in the way I guess

Here's one from today I'm quite pleased with

Beautiful, I love them, amazing as the birds are just so unbeievably fast.

Great photos :thumbs:

There's always something incredibly majestic about birds of prey, and it's captivating to see them in flight.
