Classic Dipper, good control of the whites and a nice sharp image.

Surprised you havn't churned out a few more Dipper shots Guy. You must be surrounded by them. Your image portrays the bird well and good on keeping the whites steady.

You have captured the Dipper to perfection, I would just have liked more space above it. Nice one.

Top shot Guy, very well captured, like the setting too.

Great dipper Guy, superbly exposed and classic location. Like it a lot.

I'm thinking of ideas for the coming year and these may be one of them. What sort of position were you in to take this and was a hide etc necessary?

Posted by Guy Rogers on February 3, 2009 at 2:13 PM

Hello Magnus.

I was lying down to get this shot , and no hide was needed. It was just a case of waiting for them to get use to you.

Hope you have a good time if you do them. It was one of the best subjects I did last year.
