Just Missed Getting the Bird
Posted By: Bob Harris, 06-30-2013, 09:52 PM

A handheld photo of a hawk swooping down. Terri spotted the bird in the tree and by the time I started to focus he launched downwards not more than 50 foot from us. I snapped a series of shots, but this is the best I got. I still like the background blur and colors even though the bird is not in focus, wish I had the camera set to a faster SS, but I didn't expect an event like this to occur.
