taken with Canon EOS 300D
50x500 sigma lens
at a range of 100 mtrs or 300 feet
at 1/160 of a second
the hawk itself only stands about 8 inches in height or 20 centimeters
Stan this is a fantastic photo!..gezzz did you sit there and calculate your settings? By the time i did that he would have been gone! LOL Love the colors on this guy!
LOVE IT!! Fantastic how you caught him balancing on one leg.. he must be looking for mice in the field, or something like that to eat, and getting ready for a quick take off! Brilliant work Stan. :o)
