Blueblue Day Hawk









Back from the Village and errands, and about to put the gear up, heard Blue Jay scolding across the Road from the Cabin...paddled over...photog sighting on the Sky, or the Rim, or..oh...Hawk!, Redtail...took some pics too, and it looked to be Hawk would stay awhile, so gathered the tripod from the Cabin...more pics...Hawk flew to a Ponderosa, then while fiddling with the digi scope, I lost sight, but heard one call form Hawk high against the Wall...a few more pics!....Doe was at Lower Falls...I'd hopped off the Shuttle at Bobcat Meadow...thought I'd seen Hawk perched, but just Leaves, which sparkle silver sometime in the Magnificent Light...scanned the Meadow, and thought how Hawk should be about in the Magnificent Blue Sky...so, back at the Cabin, some luck!...sunny blueblue cold, ice on the Road to slip on in the morning...heard Pygmy Owl behind the Rooms around ten am two days back...while taking Hawk clip, scope tilted way back and the bracket slipping off, as it does when everything tilted back, I lost another Hawk clip and pics, and with this in mind, fiddled once again with the whole digi arrangement, and I think I got it figured out!, with help from some small Bungee Chords...tomorrowmorrow I'll try it out...

Great shot..Photography is an Art..This picture proves that...Really awesome picture..

I learnt the basic photography rules from Mr. Kishore Mamillapalli who is one of the leading wildlife photographers from South Africa. He used to say that “Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder”. If you like what you see on your camera screen, or through the viewfinder, you will like the photograph.

There are some basic photography rules for composition. Once you know these rules, you can use them, ignore them, or break them. Follow your gut, and you will end up with spectacular, sometimes breathtaking results. Kishore is really an astonishing wild life photographer and has a great eye for details..
