p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Osprey showing off


I have seen several Osprey dives this summer, but they are usually too far away for me to get any good shots. Finally, one decided to fish a little closer to the shore of the marsh while I was in a relatively decent position to capture it. I missed the focus on the actual splash-down , but I think the rest came out alright.

The Osprey looked me over before the dive, as if to say "Hey you with the camera! Watch this!".

As always, C&C are welcome and encouraged.

Kevin

8. Yeah, I know. The focus is off on this one, but I decided to post it anyway for completeness of the sequence.

Congrats on a cool sequence here Kevin... I can think of only one other time I've seen a twofer.
I especially like the dive images against the those beautiful BG's... impressive tracking skills.
Very well done, I really enjoyed the whole set.

Thanks for commenting on the BGs for the dive, Kirk. I have been trying to add more environment to my shots lately.

What a cools sequence! Well done Kevin. Too bad about the focus on the plunge, but it still adds nicely to the set.

Super series and impressive tracking. Knowing from my experience, there is a bit more quick camera movement/jerking at the splash and that probably threw it off a bit but regardless a top notch series.

One of these days I hope to get the entire sequence in focus, and without a bunch of cattails in the way! Thanks, Eric.

Super work Kevin and it looks like you used a mirror lens so you did a great job of focus tracking as well. I love the fith
