Diving for food

I begged my daughter, Genie, to go up the stage so that I could take a picture of the bird diving down from the 40-foot top of the backstage and taking the food away from her hand.

The E-P2 is not a very responsive camera, I was really lucky to capture this shot.

Best viewed original size

Tech. note: To inform you humbly, actually some technique and planning has been put into this shot. :)

Olympus E-P2
1/800s f/5.0 at 56.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
