@Redrage
Thanks dude, i was under the impression that it was a falcon after a friend told me so...my bird knowledge sucks

hkanitkar · 18th January 2009, 00:44

@saurabh_m - how about 'Squirrel - Yoga' for the 4th pic in your post ??
@TG - Kite pic is nice ! Any pic with bird's eye reflecting sunlight livens it up. I like !
@abhishek - 1st pic is too good.

Bap re, that's too much of a compliment for an amateur like me

Yes there is post processing involved as the lens becomes quite soft anywhere beyond 180mm and to capture these birds without disturbing them I had to be on 250mm on most of the pictures.

Here comes more ..

@Abhisheksircar
I agree with Guyonblackybx !The second pic rocks! Good job, the other one can be better composed i feel.

Since we are in raptor mode, here's another 2 from me too!

Lovely shots,

like the DOF that you have got for the 2nd one and the composition too.

I know this is the wrong thread to follow in the car forum but I just cant keep my eyes off the excellent contributions. Thanks again for sharing. As they say, "I am loving it". Some Flora along with the fauna.

change of mood, excellent !!

kaushik_s · 19th January 2009, 12:17

Hi Rudra, Please don't mind but IMHO somehow this one is not working as much as the previous one. Or probably the expectations gone too high after seeing the previous shot.
