SWOOP!

Posted by Nicholas (Shah Alam, Malaysia) on 20 November 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Walking on the path, I saw lots of them storks flying. And I thought to myself "Hrmm, this might be a good time to try some panning." Unfortunately, the 105mm is not exactly the fastest lens in town. So I probably got one usable shot after probably wasting about 40 shutter counts. See how they swoop down on stuff. Don't be holding a fish in your hand, you might not have the hand after. Taken with Nikon D90 and 105mm.
