LarsMadsen 134 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I have hundreds of lucky shots and many more that were "unlucky shots" where the subject moved in just the wrong moment, the light vanished or similar. 🙂 This was more lucky than most (but still a result of preparation, not just by me but especially by the guy who rented out the hide): 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Gareth The hide is located in northern Sweden where Conny Lundström has been feeding the eagles for the last decade. The fox is not seen too often in winter (since there's not a lot of sunlight in northern Sweden in winter and the foxes prefer the cover of night) but this day it was active during the day. The eagle did not like to have the fox hanging around so it attacked the fox. I don't think the eagle tried to actually kill the fox, rather just to scare it off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Avpics 2,212 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 A search of my port with 'Royalty' and 'eye contact' returns eighteen images. I've no idea how I get so lucky. The look on the face of the (sadly only partially visible) footman may give away my secret - the yellow mankini 🙂 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Hyde 355 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) This was a lucky/make your own luck shot for me. This Barn Owl would appear randomly, to hunt in the day, across some local fields. I made the fields part of my morning dog walk for a while and took the camera along with me just in case the owl appeared. On this morning the owl had just caught a vole and was making off with its catch. My only other Barn Owl encounter was back in my wedding photography days when one couple had hired a local bird of prey centre to have a Barn Owl fly down through the Wedding ceremony room and deliver the wedding rings to the Best Man. That was a pressure shot.. Edited November 21, 2020 by Steve Hyde 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I will point out it's about surface. The textures of the surface echo the surface in the glass in the window. So many variations of color and texture on one wall.. And the shadow looks as if it could be painted on as well. So there's an uncanny tension between solidity and flight, and between permanence and the passing moment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It was one of those "Zen moments" that sometimes happen with photography. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
