...is not always the picture you thought you were taking! Here's an excellent case in point. When we were out with Fanny and Rally earlier last week, I spotted a hawk coasting just above the ground at a little bit of distance; the typical behavior of the Harrier. So I snapped a series of images to see if that's what it was.
It was. But what I couldn't see through the viewfinder were the smaller birds... fleeing for their lives! When I got home and cropped in to the subject I realized this hawk was hunting.
You can't always plan the great shot. Luck has a lot to do with it.

Best shot of a hunting Harrier I have ever seen..
ReplyDeleteWow. That's high praise indeed. Thank you, Steve. I'll have to send you a bird picture you may recognize.
