Piercing eyes (In Explore 29-10-2023)
I just got back from a months travel through Germany, and that means I have a lot of work to do on ca 2000 shots. More to come from that trip later.
This shot I took shortly before I left. I finally managed to make a decent photo of a bird that terrorized me for years with bad photos. Bad light, bad shutter speeds, bad distance, with prey in his clutches but with a bad position of one or both, and I could go on.
But one beautiful day in September when I was taking my drone out for a walk, it suddenly appeared together with a kestrel, who were particularly curious about that big noisy dragonfly. I was afraid for a moment that they were going to attack, and then I'm not so much afraid of my drone as of the damage it causes to the animals themselves.
When my drone had landed safely again, this Eurasian Hobby stayed nearby for a while and I was finally able to take a really good photo. Of course I'm not completely satisfied yet, because there should actually be some nice prey hanging underneath, but it can't get much sharper than this.
Nice weekend.
