(f5.6 @ 125 ISO 100 Lens Canon 35-350L)
A couple of weeks ago we went down to the Kowloon Typhoon shelter on a photo safari, we commissioned a sampan to take us on a little cruise around the typhoon shelter. As we were sailing past all the container barges, cranes and other assorted vessels we spotted some herons or cranes, what ever this bird is I don’t know, but as it took off I tracked it with my camera and somehow managed to lock the focus on and get one shot off. This is an amazing shot if you look closely the tip of the wing is in perfect focus and you can see the detail in the feathers. Anyone in Hong Kong will instantly recognise the background as being a container barge…
One of my very favorite shots this year… so far…
