Up Up and Away

This is an old photograph I took at
The Entrance, NSW.
After the pelican feeding show,
these two wasted no time in leaving the scene.

Nikon D600
1/500s f/5.6 at 270.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thanks very much, Cindy. Of course I paid them to get into those positions just for me lol.
Thanks again.

This photo makes me smile! I love the pose of the birds.

Thanks for your kind observations, Sally.
I was not sure whether to pot this shot or not.

Always difficult to capture but you have done very well with this
fine sharp action shot Elaine.

Than you Peter and Terry.
I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

That's a very fine action shot Elaine.
The front bird also shows how a heavy bird has to run on the surface
of the water, to get up enough speed for lift-off.
