Raptor centre 2
Nov 23, 2013 13:13:43 #
Hi Folks some more from the raptor centre trip. when taking the second shot, I had to follow the bird with manual focus as auto is way to slow. Point zilch of a second later I heard the hum and the wind from it's feathers as it almost touched/ maybe it did, my left ear.
The new Zealand falcon is actually rarer than the kiwi.

Love #2! That "comin'atcha" feeling had to be a wonderfully scarey moment! Well done!

All wonderful shots, but I LOVE the perspective of that second shot. I always love BIF shots with the bird seemingly making eye contact with the photographer and ideally seemingly coming towards the photographer.
