Kestrel

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted December 12, 2010173 views13 comments

As a new boy I would appreciate your taking it easy with me please, well for the first one at least! For my first post I wanted something fresh and as this morning had a nice Kestrel together with good light I went for this. A bit tight in the frame but it was a grab shot!

Canon EOS 1D Mk IV - 500f4 - ISO 500 - f6.3 - 2,000th

Epping Forest, UK

Cheers

Welcome to the forum and an excellent opening image.
The warm light on the Kestrel is very nice indeed and the pose captured with that raised wing works well.

Hello Bob and welcome. Wish I'd come out now! Super first post - as you say, slightly tight on the frame but the detail is all there. Chrs, Graham

Great first posting, welcome to the forum. It is, as you say, a little tight in the frame, but if this is one of your grab shots I can't wait to see what you do when you have time to compose properly!

Agree about being tight in the frame but otherwise a lovely image. Welcome to the forum Bob.
