    I like to show you the different things lol

    Ok friends; this pic is obviously not the way one would want it, however it is I think, pretty unique showing as it does the Great Potoo about to fly at me - yikes.
    Called down by me impersonating its call!

    The story is a fun one having had myself anfd my daughter scared by these strange night hunters. We where at a secret location where the Great Potoos gather to mate

    Their loud and scary calls and croaking voices echo through the night; OK I didnt get a good shot, no flash with me except on board . One day I will return to photograph the demon again

    Canon 7D 100-4oo Onboard flash Shutter .3 lol f 6.3 ISO 3200

    bwaaaaaahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Bwok!

    As a weird picture to go with the story I love it! But as a bird portrait it's a pity you weren't able to use toned down flash for the eyes.
