Fish Eye View - a photo on Flickriver

Fish Eye View

I had tried to get a shot one morning at the bottom of longboat Key, I had recce'd it the day before and thought I found one, but it wasn't to be.

On my way back, I was watching the ospreys - there are 4 nests in about a half mile square area, which is nice. I worked out the flight path they were using to take advantage of the updrafts of wind at the bridge and positioned myself accordingly.

I waited until they were floating over me and fired away rapidly, hoping the AF would do the job. Turns out it did. :o)

In the full version, you can see the yellow of the birds eyes as it looks straight down the lens of the 70-200!
