    Default The Steal

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    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.

    -Tim


    The full 13 shot series can be viewed on my website if anyone is interested:

    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.

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