Quick shots this morning while walking
Jan 11, 2012 16:49:09 #
While walking this morning we passed by the local minimart. A truck pulling a trailer pulled in and parked.
The van was on the trailer and the driver stopped for less than a minute to check his load. I barely had time to sneak a quick shot. Makes me wonder what the story is on the bullet holes?? Shot with my Nikon S6100 P&S.
The Coopers hawk dived right at me just as I was ready to shoot him sitting in our tree. Got off one quick shot without time to focus or anything. Used PSE-7 to brighten and sharpen. Shot with Pentax K2000, 500mm mirror lens, aperture priority, 1/750 and 200 ISO.

The holes may be fakes. I've seen decals/stickers like that.
I've seen those too, but from 6 feet away these were clearly real bullet holes.

Sherrie, I think he didn't want his picture taken.

Wouldn't want that hawk flying at me! He looks mean.
Great shot!
Great shot!
Hollyak, he dived from the tree right at me. Flew about 6 feet over my head. Never had one do that before.

Wow, what a great picture his or her eyes are so intense.
Maybe it saw it's reflection in the mirror lense and wanted a closer look.

Nice hawk picture. I had that happen to me recently where I thought he was going to attack but he found a mouse about 10' in front of me.
The truck must be a truck from Los Angeles. That's some serious road rage.
