This past Saturday I was at my favorite spot. The Osprey had picked a perch that I could not resist. Usually it picks one that is farther away or the bird is facing the opposite direction, etc. etc., but that day... Anyway after watching it for a few minutes I could see that it was going to fly(a very long explanation for another time). I set up my camera and began watching, within 10 minutes it took off and this is what I got.

Wonderful capture Garrett. The wing positioning is great and shows the markings of the osprey so well.

This is one area I really need to improve on. I get way too anxious trying to get the shot before it changes I end up missing it or ends up blurry. Being able to patiently follow the subject and wait for the right moment is a skill. Good job!

Impeccable timing Garrett. All things come to those who wait.
Great clarity as usual.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Wonderful photo! They're such beautiful birds but really difficult to photograph... You got a good one, Garrett.
