A Few raptures
I had a great time at the World Bird Sanctuary last weekend. Most of the birds are there for rehabilitation.

if it's a Harris's hawk or a golden eagle. I think I've settled on a
Haris's hawk, maybe young one.

The first photo is a real "model" pose. What eye contact and body language--not to mention great colors, sharpness and DOF.

if I'm not careful and the whole camera will move. The button travel is only so far and when it
bottoms out you're pushing the camera.
I was lucky on the first one, handheld indoors at 1/15s f2.8 180mm.
Thanks for looking,

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!"
Allen, all of those are fantastic bird portraits.
