Let us prey



First of a few (I hope) but I've done a lot of miles today and this was the first one to be posted. I must go and get something to eat, you die if you don't eat and I am not risking it!

Sony 350 Minolta 300mm zoom lens 1/1000 sec f8 200 ISO with monopod (belt and braces)

Re: Let us prey



Even adopting the standard procedure ie. lens close to the netting, widest aperture and long lens this image was flattened by the netting. By good fortune it responded to "the treatment"

Re: Let us prey

The picture in Jake's third post is absolutely AWESOME. I went to the national bird of prey centre last week and was quite pleased with a few shots - until I saw these

Re: Let us prey

Superb set Jake

All great shots, but I like the first one for its sharpness and texture.

One of the things I like about this site is having other peoples opinions. Often they are quite different from my own, good or bad, but they are all welcome

It's in Bedale,North Yorkshire. Thorpe Perrow, it's an Arboretum (tree park). If you have satnav DL8 2PR will get you there. They are on the wibley wobly web if you need more info. At the time of my visit they had around 20 birds outside on perches with just a half metre demarkation barrier around them. They also had a lot in enclosures but it varied a lot as to how successful you could be at avoiding the netting. What happens at other times I don't know as this was my first visit. £5.50 for old wrinklies like myself
Thanks for the other comments guys. I will post some more but I have fallen foul of the 24hour rule as I was posting until the early hours of this morning so it will probably be Sunday before I get them on
