I have shared a couple of these frames before but I thought I would share this landing sequence in one thread here again. I got lucky to have been ready and positioned in a good spot for this sequence. And the remnants of our wildflowers this season on the hills helped create a pleasing background. The juveniles are now gone and have probably already found their own territories. Cannot wait for a new set next year

All shot with Sony A1, 600mm f/4GM, handheld, processed in C1Pro+PS

You could prolly make a mini gif action sequence out of those, very cool!

For me all that's needed is frames 1, 3 and 6. The background is wonderful as is the action you captured Kambiz.

Great series. Couldn’t have picked a better background or perch. Nicely done

These are so good, they almost don't look real! Great job of capturing and processing these amazing shots.

Very cool sequence, and technically wonderful images. TFS.

It's interesting. The second image made me think the Peregrine was coming in too low, and was going to struggle to stick the landing, but obviously it worked out fine Did it make it's approach to the perch from lower (i.e. was the approach an upward trajectory)? I can't get a hint from the first image because the perch isn't in the frame.

Maryam and Kambiz: I don't know which of you photographed this series. Great background, IQ and dynamic poses.

Beautiful

Thx. And yes, indeed, the falcon went down a bit and then swooped upwards to land on his perch. And apparently this is a common maneuver among larger birds. I just did a quick google search, and they have even written papers on it

Optimization of avian perching manoeuvres

They swoop up "because swooping upwards transfers kinetic to potential energy before collision"

Haha... Thx Ted... All pictures posted here are taken by me (Kambiz) unless explicitly stated otherwise . My wife (Maryam) is more into nature/landscape shots, and much less into wildlife/birds.
