Red kite

[grumpybadger]

One from the trip back from Skomer earlier in the year when we stopped at Gigrin.



EOS-1Ds MkII, 500 f/4L IS, tripod, gimbal

Thanks for looking

Paul

 

[Martyn...]

I really like that, love the shape of the wings and the way it sits in the framing, really good shot

 

[CT]

It's Ok I suppose.

Cracker - great sharp eye and head detail.

 

[DonnaM]

Great take Paul, that is truly dynamic - wonderful stuff

 

[grumpybadger]

Thanks guys. Was really lucky it was one of the untagged/unringed birds

IE crashed... grr. I was saying, that this is a gem of a shot, and is better for having a non-sky bg.

 

[grumpybadger]

Thanks. Think it was the site momentarily dropping as I had the same issue. Spent the last trip trying to avoid sky backgrounds. Makes the AF much more challenging but I think the results are (can be!) worth it.

 

[lammie]

That is one helluva capture of a red kite, was it about to change direction?.

 

[grumpybadger]

Thanks very much. Yes, the kite was in the process of changing its mind on which way to go...
