Get low kids.......
.....can't afford any drag!!

Taken a couple of years ago now as missed this years chicks :frown: Conditions were really bad and I was going to bin all these shots as they're a 50% crop and not as good as I would hope for really.

Quite liked this one so thought I'd share it

comments appreciated

techs:
1d2, 500/4 + 2x, tripod, still up working after a horrendous day at work and haven't time for techs - sorry.

Looks decent to me, Graeme. I would try to tone down highlights on water tough. And too bad for that 50% crop.

Cheers,
Marko

Looks nice enough to me for a 4Mb crop Graeme :toast:

I've not been able to get close enough for pics this year but every time I see the kids getting a lift it makes me laugh :smile:

Nice image-I have all summer shooting Grebes as we have had dire weather here as well the nest were constantly getting washed away,The last of the grebes hatched 3 weeks ago-I wonder why the chicks are in this position
