    Default High degree of difficulty..

    Common Murre with fish.
    Head on flight in Oregon coast surf at another minus tide at Haystack Rock yesterday.
    Some friends and I head there for the third time this summer to get shots of the Murres
    because they fly so fast and are so incredibly hard to get in flight in crap ocean morning light
    but it is the only chance you get since they nest in offshore rocks only accessible a few times.
    The keeper rate is awful but it is a fun challenge.
    I do not know how many cameras could get this shot.
    D500, 500pf, f5.6, 1/3200, iso2000

    Thanks Mike, It is not what I call tack sharp, would have taken 1/5000 which can happen in perfect conditions
    as the minus tides are at sunrise which is why we go and the sun is at your back but clear skies at the coast
    are about 1/100 chance. But that is why we go, you never know with bird/wildlife/weather.......

    Well done Dan....Not an easy task. I like how the bird is looking at the viewer.

    Tough shooting conditions for sure. The fish is a plus.

    Pretty darn good!
    So hard to get this shot. Not tack sharp but still sharp. I would be chuffed to have taken this!
