Breakfast With The Osprey

12 years 1 month ago #208444 by Provo
Many thanks to Dori her daughter for showing us this neat park trail.
As we began to walk the path I had spotted an incoming osprey with fresh catch
none of us where prepared to take the shot since we just basically began to walk.

Later on as we are walking back towards the car we looked up and the same bird
was eating his breakfast up in the tree so this is one of the shot's I had taken.

The quality looks great, exposure sharpness etc. I don't have a lot of experience with long reach lenses and I'd have gone in closer in portrait orientation so you can see more detail of the osprey and what he's eating. Just Ned's opinion. Still its a good image though.

Thanks Ned
This was shot at Focal Length = 5000/10 mm ===> 500 mm
taken directly from the exif data handheld looking up at an angle
towards the tree he was way up there.

It was great to see him eat his meal.Although pieces of his catch where falling down
towards us LOL.
