    Default 1001st Post!!!!!!!!

    Didn't even notice my 1000th post so here's my 1001st. This is a photo that I've been holding on to for a special post; 1001 seems like a good enough reason. It's a photo of two Northern Harriers battling over a fish this past winter. It was tough getting enough DOF and shutter speed to pull this off, and I had to use ISO 1250. But I was very pleased with the result. I particularly like the way the bird on the snow is standing her ground in spite of the aerial assault from the other hawk.



    Canon 1D Mark III, 700mm, f/8, 1/1250, ISO 1250, manual exposure, no flash, tripod

    Incredible capture, you did great with DOF and stopping the moment, the one on the snow looks as he was just shot with a bullet. Agree on the need of a frame to the picture.
