    Default Young Peregrines in Chase


    Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
    Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED AF-S VR
    1/3200s f/4.0 at 400.0mm iso320
    hand held, natural light, 70% of full frame

    Watching these fledglings fly around, and have fun was a truly cool experiance! Unfortunatly the light wasn't the best, but it was worth a try.

    I like the action here Raymond! Light could be better, as you said, but a nice interaction. Thanks for posting!

    Great interaction and poses. I might put the birds further to the right in the frame and try to lighten the parts that are not sunlit.

    I agree as above. Nice pose on both birds and the sharpness of both is very good. The whole thing is just a bit dark. I am a sucker for the fanned tail.

    Well done image. Did a wonderful job with keeping both birds in focus.

    Great moment to capture in nature the right wing of the lower bird looks weird as presented not symetrical or just a weird angle still wish I saw the action

    Your timing was awesome to capture this wonderful ation and as Sid mentioned to get both in focus is a real challenge. Thanks for sharing Raymond this incredible image with us.

    Wonderfull moment Raymond! I love so much these birds, too.
    I have a risky hike last weekend to a very steep rocks so as to photo this bird.
    I think this is not a Peregrine falcon but a Eurasian hobby.
    Here is one of my photos to proove it:
