Hello Harry, mind if I post here :evil

:wave Hi everyone, I'm out at Photokina in Cologne, Germany. It's like a circus here. Out on the mall in between the exhibition halls, there's always something going on! Today, it was a raptor exhibition. Shot with Canon 5D on AI Servo, Canon 24-105L on board.

    Great shots Andy...but what caught my attention is not the bird, but the people in the background...you are at one of the largest photography shows in the world, and not one of those folks has their camera out even taking a shot.

    Interesting

    Pretty dramatic there!
    I like the last shot with the raptor hovering over the man -- scary!

    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!"

    Wow!! I love the bird close-ups Andy, and I really like that last shot of the Raptor coming in to land on the Trainers Glove, that one looks almost 3D, glad your having a great time at the Photokina Exhibit .....Skippy (Australia)
