20110603 316 SERIES - Northern Harrier.jpg

Ottawa

Four consecutive flight shots of the Harrier making a turn.

Top image: Harrier in straight flight. Note, not shown, but it is being chased by a couple of Red-winged Blackbirds. THe Blackbirds were no doubt protecting their nests from being raided.

The four shots were taken in a burst of less than a second. I used my 1.4 T.C. for these shots as the Harrier was some distance off. Subsequently when the Harrier came a bit closer, I was able to take of the extender and get some sharper shots with the 300mm f2.8 lens. All shots were hand-held.

I dunno - the top shot looks pretty sharp to me. The gray raptor looks great against the robin's egg blue sky. V
