Another shot of a Migrant Hawker.

The more observant amongst you may have spotted the wire I suspended him on and forgot to clone out :biggrin: :biggrin:


Only joking its old broken leg again :smile:

D700
200 -400 f4 with 1.4 TC handheld
1/500 sec at f8 ISO 400

So that's how it's done :wink:
You did very well Ian, it's not easy to get these in flight as I found out lol.
Well done.

Geoff.

Ian

What a smashing shot and they aren't easy either I've been chasing the same image type too. Handheld is the only option for me. Thanks for sharing the settings.

:wink:

Great shot. I've been trying this last friday. Not one decent shot.
I used 1/1000 sec and even then the wings are moving. It's was not the same species.

Again great shot.

Fantastic detail and good composition.

You had better watch out though - Kato has printed his Southern Hawker in flight from Saturday. :biggrin: :wink:

A DIF is something I've never been able to capture, so big congrats for doing so Ian. Looks great to me as posted.
