Way to go, Awais!!!

Fast shutter speed and luck...are the key ingredients. Lots of shots and practice. If anyone can do it you can...I have no doubt.

GREAT Awais thumb It's great to try something new isn't? and wildlife photography is such a good challenge .
I love the fact that it looks like the bird is coming towards to you, like ready to attack you, hahaha, just kidding. And yes, maybe a faster speed for your shutter . I like how the rocks are flying because of its take off

Great Capture, I know you are going to take AMAZING BIFs in a coming future, good luck

Good shot Awais. Your shutter speed was a tad slow. You want to be at around 1/1000 sec if you wnat ot freeze the motion, a tad slower if you wnat some wing blur for the sensation of motion

Hey Awais,

I actually like the motion blur on the wings. Might be a little too much, but a great effect anyhow. It looks like the light was not your friend and seems a little backlit. If this was shot in RAW I would try two frames, one exposed for the background and one a little more exposed for the big fella and overlay them. Still a great shot!

Nice one Awais! I too like the motion blur on the wings, and the bits of debris as he takes off. Too bad the lighting was not in your favor.
