Description
Falconer

The second shot from eagle show at the Landskron Castle. It shows the falconer who guided the show and a black kite (it's a hawk). There were two of them, catching small snacks the falconers throw in the air.

Infos to the show (the austrian version includes a list of the birds) [link]
the snow owl from this series [link]

I tried the first time to capture birds (and here also a human ). It was quite tricky. Sometimes my lens had too much focal length, sometimes too less. The birds were really fast. And it was my first shoting like this. The main problem was the noise performance of my 400D (had to use ISO 800).
What do you think?
