Osprey Morning

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted May 17, 201065 views2 comments

We were trying to track this osprey after it left its nest in a swampy area in northeast PA yesterday morning. He flew over the hillside unfortunately, but I liked this when I got home going thru the day's shots.

D-60, ISO-400 and 1/2,500th as I was set up for flight, f-6.3 and 200mm on the Nikkor lens. Thanks for looking and any C&C is welcomed.

My only nit here Bill is I would like to see the bottom of the old barn. I don't think you would have lost to much of the sky if you had lowered the camera a tad. Other than that, this is nice. It has alot going for it. Nice green color and slope of the hill, wonderful sky with the cloud detail, and the trees at the top of the hill help draw the eye up to the outline of the osprey. I also like the way the shadow of the tree is cast down the hill. Nice landscape photograph.
