Peregrines - a photo on Flickriver

Peregrines

So I made mention I had filled up a memory card on my early morning with the fledgling Peregrine Falcons. The deal is, I have a new camera (Sony A1), and it goes fast (up to 30 fps). From my perspective, it's uncontrollably fast. Lack of control is my dilemma. So when the little fledgling Peregrine started beating its wings, I just laid on it. When someone nearby said incoming food, I just stuck with it. So mom does fly in with prey, and the fledgling manages to make off with it before her sibling gets a chance. I've noted before this takes place on the cliffs overlooking the Blue Pacific, and you can even spot a breaking swell or two roll in in the soft background.

I had no intention of video, but the sequence IS pretty cool. What I did here was take all 142 frames less maybe a couple culled before the idea came to me, assembled in a sort of dragged out time lapse. About 15 seconds elapsed time spread out to 45.
