Take off imminent.
I could have done with a faster camera as the image I really wanted would have been the one between this frame and the next frame (which was a blurred nuthatch half way out of the picture!)
Cropped for framing.
1/90th @ f4.5
iso 500
100-300 @ 164mm

Hi Robert,

Nice shot with a nice sharp head :smile:

that's an interesting shot Robert. It's amazing how the head stays still while the rest of the body gets ready for takeoff. Well captured.

As Matt says, an interesting pre-launch shot :smile:

Hello Robert.

Good capture with the movement in the body and keeping the head and feet sharp. Makes for a more interesting image.

Hi Robert,

Great shrpness for f4.5 and 1/90th sec. You nailed it right on the eye. I like these kind of shots. You know there's action coming!

Cheers,

Chris

Different than the norm. Nice to see some movement.
