Rain Bird

One of my last photos with my D3s - 24-120F4VR @ 120mm & F4 ISO 640

Very Nice Shots!

Great photo, thanks for sharing.

Nice capture Sam. You must have been really close to the bird.

Thank Glenn I was very close within 15 meters.

Very evocative. You have captured his expression and the whole history of his species is written in that face. Great job. That,s why I love photography.

That is just WOW.
Looks like you were having a chat with him... did you use a TC?

BTW why is this 'one of your last photos with the D3S'?

Thank you, I was with 15 meters of him. No TC. Shortly after this photo my D3s was destroyed en route back to me from Nikon by the courier they were using at that time.

Oh yes.. i remember that story..
good thing you got a new replacement Fantastic shot again!
