This is one from the weekend, when we had some good light again, over here(a rarity). My injured shoulder seems to be back to normal. so I have been getting stuck into flight shots. The Goldeneye are flying in and out of the harbour regularly, the problem is, light. The only time I can get a decent shot, is late afternoon when the sun is almost behind me, before it goes into shade. At this time of the year it is about 3pm. These guys take the same flight path in and out of the harbour, but they are so different in their flight patterns, it makes it difficult to get a shot.
Good flight shot, tough to capture. Good head angle and up-wing position (fully up, of course, would have been icing on the cake). Yes to a bit more selective sharpening, but well captured.
Thanks for the comments guys, Hi Jon, nearly there with the focus, but I wouldn't say it was 100%. This is the same bird, with different flight pose, which one do you prefer.
I also like both but the first one is my favorite because of the unique HA and pose. Details and exposure look great too. Well done William
