Two Bosque Blurs

I continue to wade through the images from my trip to Bosque Del Apache.  I’m making progress  . . . slowly.  In the meantime, here are two of my favorite “blur” images from the trip.  The “Sandhill Calligraphy” image was fairly easy to make, though I was fortunate to capture both birds at the same point in their wing beat.  The 2nd image, a pan blur, was much, much more difficult.  I made dozens of images before I captured one with a pleasing background and where the bird’s eye is sharp.

I apologize for the derth of posts over the last couple of weeks — I was away shooting at Bosque, and then preoccupied with work and holiday shopping.  In any event, I’ve finally had a chance to start seriously editing the 5000+ images that I captured at Bosque Del Apache earlier this month. Based on my initial review, I’m pretty sure that the image above is my favorite from the trip — and I made it about ten minutes after I set up on my very first day.  The rest of the trip was somewhat anticlimactic.
