Diving Together
by Mark J

*** BEST VIEWED IN ORIGINAL SIZE ***


Caught these two in the act of fishing / diving
together for food today.

For those not familiar, brown pelicans dive in the
water to catch their dinner. These two were about
to come up with their next meals.

sorry the image doesn't appear as sharp as it could,
I never bothered doing any sharpening to it and,
probably compressed the image too much to boot :-)

Great shot Mark, love the one pelican diving in with its beak touching the water. Very well taken. Vikas

What a wonderful way to capture motion without resorting to motion blur!

Funny, someone asked me if this was a "double exposure" of two birds in two scenes lol

This is an excellent example of great timing! I like the way you captured the second bird just as it's beak touched the water.
