Birds A day with a falconeer

[Reciprocum]

Today I did a colab session with a local falconeer. He allowed me to use (part of) my studio lighting kit.
Here are 2 from the session, a few more when I find the time to finish culling (1152 images in the card...)
Probably the day I was the happiest to have a high-res body and GM glass.

This is a great series of shots!

Thank you.
It was a great experience for me to be able/allowed to spend a few hours with this amazing bird professional in his home environment.
He just told me yesterday that my pictures helped him win a season long assignment for his bird show on one of the most prestigious wildlife preserves of our country and, to my great satisfaction too, some of my pictures will be featured on this web site helping to promote my name as a photographer, so definitely a win-win colab project.

We already are lining up ideas for our next medieval themed shoot with some gorgeous female models along ;-)

When I get my shots to this my smile will be so bright that you in Portugal if its your night it will
turn to daylight.
That is how bright my smile will be.
Wonderful shots and ones I dream to get and I know I am now not too far from this.
Well done on them all. I have no favourites as they all are.
