The Falcon -- Take 2

Uploaded: December 20, 2011

Description

F 3.3 @ 1/30th second. The handler brought his tamed Falcon right inside the building where a waterfowl festival was underway. The beautiful bird was perched proudly on its owner's glove and under weak flouresent lighting, I was quite surprised by the photo opportunity afforded me, yet at the same time I was also delighted that I just just happened to have my camera close by. I snapped a dozen frames in about 90 seconds and off the pair went until they disappeared in the people packing the waterfowl decoy showroom. I was amazed at the results when I viewed my images.
