Coming into land! (C) + Repost
Hi all

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to Danny who ran his 1st photograhic day down at Vince's place.

It was a great day and good to meet up with some new faces, plus of course its alway good to visit the centre.

I've shot his guy "Kaln" a few times now and yesterday was by far my best efforts!

Thanks again to all

EOS 1DSMK3
EF 300MM F2.8

I appreciate this is a captive bird but this is a fantastic shot, The sharpness is good the action is ace and the comp works very well, albeit a tad tight in the frame at the top of the top wing.

Well done.

Good to see Caln is in good health :wavey: Vince and staff take good care of these birds.
Well done.

Nice capture, just remove the Jessies to take it up another level.

Hello Kevin.

Cracking image and the background really adds to this. Would go with Ray on removing the Jessies/rings.

That's better - the blue of the DOE ring was most distracting - looks a treat now matey :wavey: :wavey:

Hello Kev

At least someone got him in flight!!!!! I am getting too old for fast flying birds like Kaln. Great stuff mate and was great to finally meet you.

I was there a few weeks ago and am fully aware how difficult these are to capture, captive or not. Very nice work Danny.
