p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Red-Bellied Woodpecker at Takeoff


I was testing my new Oly 40-150 Pro lens through our bay window. I had been watching this beautiful bird with the stunning red cap competing with others at our bird feeder. I caught this lucky shot at his takeoff—thanks to my motor drive capturing the moment.

The picture is a 100 percent crop.

Olympus O-MD E-M1 mounting an Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 PRO lens set at 150mm (efl 300mm), 1/1600s, f3.5, ISO 500.

Any C&C will be much appreciated. I have little BIF success over the years, even in my days with a Canon 7D and 400mm lens. But I'm still working at it!

Thanks for looking. - Phil

It was a great moment for me, Morris.

I'm delighted to have been able to capture a moment of flight of this lovely creature.

Thanks for looking. - Phil
