Truly?Β The American Kestrel is such a small bird.Β I guess the angle the shot is from is what fooled me because this bird appeared much larger.Β

I guess a low angle can make any bird look huge

beautiful shot, help me, how do you control noise at high ISO speeds

Thanks! The canon 7D has pretty good noise control, but I also use Nik Define 2.0 to reduce noise in the background of my high-ISO photos.

They're not pets, they're wild animals. In captivity they're used for Falconry which is much more than a "pet" it's a companionship between trainer and their hunting bird.Β
