So frustrating

[Clifftop]

I see these fairly regularly but when you stop the car they fly away, that is until a couple of days ago.

 

It just hovered there and waited, i grabbed the camera and started clicking.

 

It was about 25--30 feet in the air and had obviously seen something on the road side.

 

I thought it would have to come down lower soon then it dropped----like a stone and i was a half an hour behind.

he missed what he was after and so did i, oh well next time maybe.

I got this one of an obviously 'annoyed' osprey a few years back, over in Florida. This was when I had to manually focus as well.

I'd have been delighted with any of them! Keep at it Fred....

Bifs are one of the hardest ones to get right Fred. Lots of practice is the only way.

 

MF is often better than AF.

 

Dark bird and light sky usually needs overexposing by at least one stop sometimes two.

 

Wait till you try these little blighters, this one took me about three weeks to get anything this good, and I'm still far from happy with it.
