Osprey with catch, ISO 1250

[Fabs Forns]

Leaving Sanibel Pier after a full day of workshop, Artie spotted this bird on a pole, and told everyone to get the long lenses and flash. There was hardly any light, hence the high ISO and low shutter speed. Not all of them turned sharp, but here's one that looked good on the laptop. Will be sure whne I see it at home.

Looks great for such a high ISO Fabs. Wonderful detail and the high key look works very well.

fantastic catch Fabs., what a dinner!!

Lovely pose and eye contact with Osprey and victim. Perch works in well with the high key look.

Full of interest, Fabs. The fish looks nearly as big as the bird.
