flying brick!

Still cant get over how this beast got off the ground!? The second owls eyes were so beautiful, didnt do them justice but gonna keep trying.

The first looks like a great grey, the second some kind of eagle owl. Nice shots!

Fantastic shots.

[LazyPhotographer]

Looking good! These are such amazing birds too..

You know if you take all the feathers off a bird like this you would know that there isn't much meat under them and they only look like bricks :) Super shot here also nice in flight capture

Nice shots. The look of concentration on the owl in the first pic is priceless !

The angle on the first shot is singular. Never seen anything like it. Great shot!

I love the first shot. What lens did you use for that shot?

[chell]

Thanks all! I did get a little cuddle of the big fella and youre correct, there was nothing under those feathers! I used a canon 75-300 with a 2x converter. Was v difficult to keep up with them and Im going to continue to be patient till I get the shot I want. Tried to capture falcon but he was all over the place quicker than a jet! If anyone could give me some advice on capturing these birds Id be greatful. Lenses, technique, you know.....:)

#2 is a good shot. It just needs to be lightened in PP. Lighten the shadows 10% or so and it'll look a whole lot different. It's just underexposed as you have it now.

Nice shots. I love the eyes in both pics.

Like watching the Spruce Goose (or whatever that plane was called) trying to get off the ground :)
