myday #20 - Osprey With The Ultimate Catch
Talk about the catch of @myday!
I was lucky to capture this shot of an Osprey with a half eaten fish in its talons as it flew along the shoreline.
I had literally had just stepped out of the car with my camera to look along the beach from the carpark and saw the Osprey flying along the shoreline. I held the camera to my eye, tracked the bird and waited a few seconds as it passed me. I feel I got the perfect shot with the right timing! I count myself totally lucky!

Wow this is amazing! I still have not enough to get a proper lens yet but that is just so beautiful to have "frozen in time"!
When you are saying 1/4000 that's the shutter speed? I am still not very good with the photography settings jargon. LOL.
Totally a post worth upvoting @myday !
ps: I will try that with my other photos with your hashtag if it is not in the color challange range.
Thank you as always for your comment @littlenewthings. You are correct in saying that 1/4000 is the shutter speed. It basically means that the cameras shutter stays open 1/4000 of a second (a fraction of a second) allowing you to freeze fast moving subjects. Just know that the longer the shutter is open the more light hits the sensor. That's why when you are taking low light pictures the shutter speed is longer like 1/40 second or even 30 seconds.
I might have to write a blog on it in future! I'll also look out for your photo under the hashtag!
The great Hunter :))
