Good evening,

different photo than usually, this time taken with my beloved telephoto lens. I was waiting for this shot for at least 30minutes. These birds (i forgot the name) are unbelievably fast. I managed one more, very similar shot with 3 birds taking off at the same time only to realize at home that the shot was blurred:(

Enjoy*

viktor

Hi Viktor,
Great shot! I think it might be a Razorbill. I like how you caught it just as it had leapt of the cliff - excellent timing and well worth the wait :) The bird is nice and sharp and the blurred background behind makes for a lovely backdrop. The inclusion of the little patch of grass in the foreground adds a sense of depth to your shot and is well included.

Good work! Al the best, Casper

Ahoj Vito, paradni moment, dobre zvolena expozice a clona. Skoda, ze se ti nepodarilo zahrnout i horizont more a fotit trosku vic z boku a zespoda, aby byl ptak jeste proti obloze a neztracel se trosku v tech skvrnach od odlesku slunce ve vode, ale na utesech si nemuzes moc vybirat. Cekani se vyplatilo a tahle Alka je moc pekna. Je to orez, nebo tohle je plnej format? Mozna zkus orez, tak aby ta alka vic vynikla. Mej se fajn a tes se na dalsi fotky ode me, byl jsem v Lake District!
