Thanks for all the kind words regarding the photo. That shot was several days in the making; it started last Saturday when I was about to slip in the water to shoot herring and as I was handing my camera to my son-in-law I heard a loud splash not more than ten feet away, (if I had only been facing the opposite way) -- in full sight of Paul and Capt. Ed Hughes, an osprey had grabbed a herring right behind me. The next day Ed went back at the same time of day and got a very cool shot of the bird grabbing a fish...we had figured out his/her routine. Yesterday, with my new camera in hand, we invested a couple of hours waiting for a dive bombing display. We witnessed one failed attempt and a successful hunt. I couldn't grab a decent focus on the bird while it was diving (too many limbs in the way) but I did grab this shot and several other goods.
RIJIMMY,
I will be posting larger images of this photo, underwater shots of herring, stripers, tog, marlin, dorado, turtles and more at a new website I have going up in a few days. You'll be able to order those as prints that will be shipped to you or for a very reasonable price, you can purchase them custom framed through a wholesale frame shop I work with...Crestar Mfg. has a massive selection of frames and matting and you can customize your print to best suit your mancave or home.
Wait till you see the underwater images I grab with this new system...right now I'm off to grab another osprey shot.
PRBuzz, it was one of several short bursts (10 frames per second).
Here's another picture showing an osprey swooping through the trees.
