#SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 268
The Ravens are Literaly Eating My Lunch O.o
Hello everyone and welcome to my first post in a long time.
Today I'm going for birds in flight with a mated pair of Ravens that visit anytime I'm in the back yard as I've made friends with them over the last few years,
I usualy bait them in with penuts but today they decided to go for my lunch before comming back for the penuts.
The image above is the one I've selected for the contest this week
I've just thrown out a double handful of penuts in the shell (roasted not salted) and walked back to the tripod when Raven number one shows up and sizes up the booty.
It only takes a few seconds to lock in the target and launches. not at the penuts but at the peperoni pizza that is sitting on the little table that folds out on my lawn chair.
After scoring a slice and knocking the rest to the ground BTW it starts pumping for altitude with it's prize.
My rig can do ten frames per second so I was able to get many different wing positions as it climbs out of the yard.
The two Ravens pictured live close by and are used to me and will get within a few feet of me if they think they can score a treat from me.
I feed them penuts throughout the year for the last few years.
If I don't have any treats for them they will land and bounce up within a few feet of me and start making clicking sounds and give me the look O.o.
As Raven number one clears Raven number two wings in and scopes it out.
This one is also going for the pizza as well. I guess pizza is universaly loved lol
Like this shot with the wings fully exstended and one of the picks of the litter so to speak
Greedbox here is working a little harder for altitude as it grabed not one but two slices
I got some cool wing positions on this one as it circled right in front of the camera
Can't even see it's face from the front due to the amount of pizza in it's mouth lol
A couple of these images are a little soft like the one above and didn't get sharpend up in editing as I'm trying to relearn my editing suite and these are just croped with a touch of denoise
The image above was one of the picks of the litter as well and I almost picked this one for my entry
Greedbox finally makes it out of the yard with it's two slices and make for a nice bushy limb to devour its prize =)
Well that's it for todays post, I hope you enjoyed the images of two of my favorite feathered friens.
Now I need to practice my editing for the next post I already have images selected for.
Also I need to deactivate my touch pad an my laptop.... cuz it's driving me nuts when I brush aginst it wile I try to type O.o
