Black Vulture in flight

[Michael Lloyd]

I was standing on a bluff watching deer and Rio Grande Turkeys below me when a flock of Black Vultures flew by at almost eye level. It seemed like a good idea to take a shot or two...

I like the eye-level perspective. A little underexposed. Good to see you hand holding!

:) I hand hold from time to time. As you know it's easier to do with the 800 than the 600. I think the contrast boost that I gave it prior to shrinking it makes it look underexposed. I actually got this one right in camera... and then messed up with Photoshop :D
