Photo-A-Day January 2016

A decade ago I had an assistant hold my camera while I got the feel of a "Hawg". What is lead to was a story on my bout with cancer and how I had kicked it. After the mag came out I was given the finished image. Just something a little different to post. Normally these bikes were shot with a cable release in ambient light without a person on the seat.

Perhaps a common kestrel

Where was the image taken?

Samko

My photo was taken in Denmark. I had no chance to see how the bird fly. It would just be nice to know what kind it is. It looks like a baby bird in my mind.

The Kestrel is a Europe wide species Samko, I am sure that is what it is. Had a bit of brain-fade when I typed Sparrow Hawk above, I've corrected that.

Samko

Thank you spraynoray, Nice lil bird

Well, as one who likes to place limits on myself, I decided to capture what I could see of The Henry Ford Museum via a modified 10.5mm Nikkor on full frame. The results will be seen in the next several days on PAD......so, prepare yourself..... )

First night out with the new 70-2000 2.8. Very good at controlling flair.

Gosh, 70-2000/2.8 love it, but isn't it heavy? )

What's a fisheye for?
