I
was determined to capture a good action photo of a Kea in
flight. Strong gales consistently ripped through the canyon
making that all but impossible. Even as I thought a Kea was
about to take flight, I would lock on him prepared to shutter,
only to have him ripped from one canyon wall to the other much
faster than I could follow. After a while I finally got
lucky and caught this guy just as he zipped in to land, and just
barely grabbed the top of a bush. That first image was a good
action figure, but his feathers were so ruffled that, after some
reflection on which images to include in this galary, I chose this more
aesthetic composition instead. Here he dodged from the bush to this rock. It
happened so quickly that I was surprised I was able to frame and focus him
this accurately. |
