The Steal

[Tim Foltz]

Canon 1DX • 1/2000 • f/7.1 • ISO 500 • HH

I tried to pick one frame from the 13 shot sequence that best told the story and showed the action.
The colors are a bit strange do to the smoke from the fires in the foothills that day.

Thanks for looking.

You did an amazing job of capturing the peak of the action that tells the story. I am assuming that the Osprey is the thief... The pano crop works very well here. The IQ looks a bit suspect; how large a crop is this one?

Hi Artie,
The osprey dove to get the fish and the cormorant was 3 feet or so behind the splash zone and didn't waste the opportunity for the steal.
It's about a 30% crop, and there is a lot of smoke in the air from a fire.

How cool is that! Good pano crop and peak action. I think you picked the right one to show as a standalone image, but the sequence as a whole is fun to scroll through.

[Arthur Morris]

Ah, so I was wrong. The cormorant was the thief. Pretty amazing.

superb action Tim, pity the smoke took away from IQ. You're lucky you live near Bolsa!
