Hi All,

Very pleased to get the Osprey carrying a fish, I also having it hitting the water and lifting off, but it did this in the shadow of the tree line so is sadly under exposed, and looks a bit pants trying to fix it, in the excitement just did'nt think to change my settings, well it's not every day you have a wild Osprey fishing 30m in front of you, with golfers teeing off next to you as well :biggrin: .

All comments welcome


Regards

Rob

Your work is really paying off with extreme dividends.. This is stunning, shame about the light but hey, you captured something special here. I agree about the cyan cast over the image, but I guess that's a relic of the problems you describe. Excellent work Rob and thanks for sharing with us.

On another note this is one of my favourite birds of all time and one day I will hopefully learn how to capture them in flight like this. I have only ever seen them fishing at great distances..

Kind regards,

Brett :toast: :toast:
