Juvenile ibis landing

[Troy Lim]

Been out of town and finally get back to normal. Love the updated site for sure. Thanks all for the hard work.

I found that photographing Juvenile Ibis landing are much harder than the adults because they do a sharp turn right before landing. Not sure if that was their way of learning how to land. Hope everyone had a great 4th of July.

You are correct, they do a very quick maneuver right when you have acquired focus :)
Nice whites and head angle, a wider aperture would have blurred the BG some more. Love the open feet.

Thank you Fabs.
Did you guys ever made it here? It was raining all weekend long, hope you got a chance to go out and shoot.

Great pose giving a dynamic feel to the image! I do find the BG a bit distracting though. Sounds like these guys were fun to observe!

Thank you Daniel.
Variation of colors of the BG probably makes it distracting.
They don't land like the adults.
