Great shots!

Nice to see BiF from (/ with) a different perspective, well done Berowne!

One from my 'wetlands' trip this weekend, attempt at panning with (relatively) slow shutter-speed,
swan taking off, taken from a boat:


As a first attempt, I was rather pleased with it

That's a very nice shot, Wiebe. Well done!

 

[Mikehit]

Pretty good that, Wieber.

 

[Talys]

Wiebe, awesome shot!

 

[Nat_WA]

Thanks Click, Mikehit, Talys!
With some more time to post-process, I'll post some more but these stood out being different from the more 'static' BiF shots. Unfortunately many of the more interesting birds kept their distance so I could not get nice close-ups . Anyhow, a nice day on the water, with only a small drop of rain and quite a few sunny moments
Another swan while taking off:

... they take their time running on the water to assist at take off

The panned, slower shutter speed take-offs give a more dynamic feeling than this one with fast shutter...
Let me know your thoughts!

Osprey circling to locate its prey

... and it caught a fish, unfortunately at quite a distance - picture quality is not optimal

I recently had the opportunity to try out my BIF skills at a falconry.
Some of my tries in BIF of a Red Kite (Milvus milvus).

some more, but not as good as the first sequence

Very nice series. Well done, Maximilian.

Wiebe.

I prefer this one. The picture is more dynamic indeed.

And for the Osprey, you didn't have nice lighting condition. It's very difficult to get a nice picture in that kind of lighting.

Very nice series. Well done, Maximilian.

Thank you, Click.

Very nice shots Maximilian, I especially like the last of this (first) set - bird is detailed very well while the blue 'ribbons' on his talons are masked a bit

Thanks Click, you're too kind . Sky was overcast but not too badly, but there is indeed a lot of contrast between bird and background - sky.
Another one under comparable circumstances; White-tailed Eagle:

This picture is sharper, we can see more of the bird's details .

Beautiful Pictures of the red kite Maximilian, in Germany we say "Milan". I love these birds.
Greetings Andy
