All pics taken with 400 5.6L, 1/500, 5.6, iso 1600 on a cloudy day. I panicked when I saw the crab in the heron's mouth and every shot after this was oof :humungus

    Excellent set Shay. thumb.gif I know about losing your concentration when you see them with a catch. I've blown more shots that way than I care to recall.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks for the compliment Harry, I had visions of capturing a reznik flip and couldn't handle the pressure mwink.gif . The heron swallowed the crab in one gulp, it was amazing to see it. It certainly made a difference to shoot something besides swans :)
