    Happy New Year Everyone!

    Here's a favourite from my recent Bolivia trip. These guys are pretty fast flyers so this one had a pretty high degree of difficulty. But with some good technique, a bit of patience and some luck I was able to nail this guy :-)

    Camera Model: Canon EOS 7D
    Shutter speed: 1/1600 sec
    Aperture: 6.3
    ISO: 400
    Focal length: 500mm + 1.4x

    Well done to catch this guy in flight, Glenn. Perfect wing spread, and a nice hint of a head turn to boot. Beautiful color.

    Lovely feather detail in that wing spread, and agree the slight head turn works nicely, well done on this one for sure

    The detail here is superb and the colour so vibrant

    very difficult for sure

    downside for me is that in an odd way it doesnt look real - that BG is out of place somehow

    Excellent high degree of difficulty shot. Detail and lighting are spot on. Agree about the slightly artificial look given the bg but a great shot never the less.

    Looks beautiful Glenn... a small image size is really not doing justice..
