Hawk on the chopping block

Cont with the breakin the rules fest

All shot at around 7pm (sweet light + beamer)







truth be known I would have loved to frame and or get him all in, but this happens in a blink of an eye and ya go with what ya got :thumb

My concentration when I drop the hammer on the Machine Gun is on his eye, hope that makes sense. Ya just gotta kinda be there or try it yourself

You really captured the "sweet" slight very well. I love the expression captured on the first one as well.

Hey Jeff,

Good captures. I have so many BIF shots with different body parts cut-off. Everytime you view them you are happy with what you caught but you also go "aw @#&*!*".

Boy, tough to do in low light! Very nice Ben.

Hey Ben the butcher. You know what I would do? I'd crop in closer on the first two shots....and make them more a "portrait" type shot. That way...it might look like that's what you were REALLY trying to do with it. Enhance the expressions on the birds face. The last one...well..sorry it doesn't work for me. Sure..I know what you mean by just getting a shot on the darn thing...but that one does look like you missed "it". :cry What's your new found love of this "beamer" thing? Sounds like something for old slow people?

Nice job. I'd still crop them in closer.

Well when Jeff gets back I'll tell him what you said @#$%@#$%
In the meantime I agree could not cull these cause of the light and the expressions I (Ben ) captured!!

I still think you are the same wild man (Ben=Jeff/Jeff=Ben) Alter egos.....one in the same. I've never seen two pictures of birds with chopped off parts posted by the respective photographer....at the same time.

Holy light gathering box, Batman. :uhoh

Harry just knew that I made you walk a little more to shoot this sob that would not let us get close but we never give up and my d70 just does not work with this, 'my angle he was to fast I do have some very good soft shots tho
