As some of you may have known, I was photographing peregrine falcons between mid-March and mid-July. During the first half of that period I started noticing that even at 1/2000sec I couldn’t freeze the falcon movement 100% when they are in flight, especially during landing and take-off. Plus, depending on the distance, the depth-of-field was not always enough using my 600mm. Most of the time, the lighting conditions were simply not enough for me to get a higher shutter speed and/or a tad smaller aperture.
Starting in June or so, the lighting intensity increased and it became fine without being too harsh by mid-morning. So, when the conditions were acceptable, I decided to get super clear images. The landing and take-off sequences posted here were captured on 2 different mornings, again when the shooting circumstances were met what I was looking for without resorting to extremely high ISO settings.
Thank you for visiting and please feel free to leave any feedback,
