"Osprey"
Shot by Shoemanchu
Date 12-20-23
Good evening Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all tonight is yes you guest it some more shot's that you all know by now is one of my favorite birds to catch the action, the Osprey. I have been getting so lucky to get two to six dives in every time I go out to my local lake but the past few weeks, I'd be lucky to get one. So I am really glad I already have so many shot's to share. Expect more shot's of the Osprey coming in the near future. These right here I really like, not the best in clarity but still good nonetheless. The first shot above I really like a lot, its rare to get shot's that appear eye level when they are in flight and best of all with their fish catch too. These Osprey sure do love the Trout out here in the lakes. You can even spot a little blood coming off the Trout as well, pretty cool action if you ask me. The way the flight is, the eyes and head in the right direction, as well as the fish in a perfect photographic moment. I love when I get these and seeing its been hard to get them lately, makes me feel better I got so many already. I have learned to appreciate the moments I do get on these guys, don't take them for granted at all.
The next shot here, is in sequence too. This was as he past me right by and again nice wing span, that trout in the perfect spot to get this shot. Glad his head was slanted towards me a bit too, even though he was going away from me like hes turning right a bit.
As the trees come into play on the next shot after the one above, I thought it was cool to capture this guy thru the trees and still get a lock on the eyes and fish. I think that's what is so cool on getting so many opportunities on these birds, to get different angles and things you don't normally see. All I know is I like this set of shot's and blessed for the moment to capture them in this quality, trust me they all could have been blurred and no focus locked in on them. Thank God that didn't happen on this run.
As you can tell from the shot before this one he was panning right and what he did, which it seems they always do, is turn back and show off their catch for everyone to see. I'm pretty sure that is something they do, It happens almost always and it must be an Osprey thing. A show of yeah I did that, now check me out again, as they show off. haha. This is the shot as he was coming back by and a good shot for the final shot to show off on this post. Very rare you also capture some blood coming off the fish too, so that is pretty cool on the action if you ask me. Love it, very happy with them and thankful you all came thru today to check out my work again, I really appreciate it. Have Blessed one to you and yours.
Anyways appreciate everyone feedback hope you have enjoyed my shots and post today' thanks for stopping by, Have a blessed one and thank you for coming in and checking out my shot's of the day. Stay tuned and enjoy my future shots in the world of photography, thru my lens.
