Ruler of Planet Houston 1 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) I have been organising a group of people to do a photography day at falconrydays.com where they basically fly a range of owls, eagles, hawks, falcons etc... towards you and your camera. It's a full day about 10am - 4pm and is normally about £90 per person. I have an agreement with the owner where he will be give me a huge discount if i can bring a reasonable bunch in, so maybe near enough half price. Free tea and coffee and biscuits all day - bring packed lunch. Just short of 2 or 3 more people to make it possible though. The date in mind is the Saturday 15th June. I used a 70-200mm last time I was there and got some cracking shots (some with an extender but mostly I had to zoom back out with that on). This time I will just be using my 100mm as I think it is adequate to get good shots as they fly so close. My pics here... Anyone interested let me know.

JawD 8 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I've done a few of these days and they're good, well worth it. Different Birds of Prey fly at different speeds and angles so each presents a different challenge. Something like a Vulture flys low and slow. Most Owls are moderate and some of my fave subjects. Falcons and just mental (fast) Too short notice of me sadly but maybe if you do any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajax_andy 0 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Not really my cup of tea unfortunately. Never really been in to shooting wildlife and it's too expensive for me to do it for a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
