Wing stretch
One of my recent dipper images this is from the middle of a sequence of about 15 images it was taken in very poor light and I feel I was quite lucky that the birds felt so relaxed.

Phillip.

D2x 800 sigma 1/160@f7.1 iso400

Ps I could have used my macro lens at one stage they sat so close to me.

Yea, I like it a lot, always nice to see a bird doing something rather than posing!

Great shot, love the 3D element, it gives the stream fall and context.

Sharp for 160th at that focal length, were you bolted to a gun carriage?
