Taking flight

Busy, busy weekend. Went with a buddy on Saturday and shot pictures downtown all day at the market, zoo, and penitentiary. Then on Sunday drove up to Stanley for a sunrise and to check out the Trailing of the Sheep Festival in Ketchum (yes that is an actual event). Needless to say, I have a ton of pictures to upload this week!

Today, in Stanley, I finally captured a picture I have been trying to get for over two years now; a bird in flight. Saw a Red-Tailed Hawk land on one of the power lines, so I pulled over and waited, camera in hand. I prefocused on the bird, held the Autofocus lock, switched to high speed continuous; and when it took off, got off half a dozen pictures.
