It was 2000 Iso as the light wasn't as good as it looks. It was taken from the car with the Owl a bit back in the woods and it was cropped a bit.

This is one of the main reasons I enjoy this forum. For a very nominal fee, I get to study and enjoy these great photographs and how they were taken.

Thanks for sharing!

Apart from being sharp and nicely exposed, Iain's photo scores on composition and framing.

Many birders consider the bird should ideally be no more than 1/3 of the image frame, supposedly to clearly show the bird in its habitat. That may be post rationalisation by the many birders who haven't got mega long lenses or are unable to get close to the birds. :lol:

But whatever the reason it works for me.

Tern warning off two Black headed gulls. Same equipment as the owl shot.

Nicely done Iain. Beautiful example of capturing the moment when danger is present.

Not sure if the best caption is the Three Musketeers, or the Three Stooges, or simply "Stop talking and look behind you!"

But when 3 old forum members meet up for a days bird photography there's invariably going to be a lot more talk talk, than click click.

No references to any similarities to the "Last of the Summer Wine" PLEASE.

:no:

Graham will be along with some mega shots of birds later. :thumbs:
