About I noticed this guy just as he was lifting off the water . I was standing in the shadow of some trees , and as he came closer and closer , it became obvious that he did not see me at all . We were on a collision course !
By the time he did see me , he was almost at full speed , and he used this technique to slow down and avoid hitting me . I was lucky enough to keep tracking him with my camera and get this shot with his "brakes" fully deployed . Shot hand held . Unfortunately , at the instant this shot was taken , he was in very bright sunlight and I could not compensate for the light on his wings .

I wonder if it might be something to do with my aftershave ???? Hmmm..

Just my opinion Rob, but I believe a little hot spot on the wings does NOT detract from a really great shot. I keep wondering why birds are either landing on you , or flying at you... Hmm!

Cheers, )

Thanks Gord . The 70 - 200 VR has very quickly become my favorite . All I need now is a 200 - 400 VR :)

This is very well shot. I love the color you captured and the feeling of flight frozen.
