Salon d’Art TRAM 2017

Once again this year I participated in the TRAM Salon d’Art.

I presented 4 photos, 3 (the 12×18) were selected. They were all shot with a Nikon 750 and a Nikon Zoom 200-500 at very high speed. The fourth, a panoramic photo of Machu Pichu taken with a Sony Cyber Shot RX 100 was not selected.

The condor: 1/4000 s, f 6.3, ISO 5000
The hoatzin: 1/2000 s, f 5.6, ISO 5000
The Butterflies: 1/1600 s, f10.0, ISO 900

The hunt

The other day I was working in the garden when out of the corner of my eye I saw a big bird appear, holding something in its claws. His flight did not look like the one of the crows we see in the neighborhood.

A few seconds later the bird lands on a branch of maple in the garden and Oh surprise, it is a large hawk holding in its claws a squirrel !!

Needless to say, I ran for my camera with the 200-500 zoom. I was able to take a series of beautiful photos.

The irony is that I spent hours this summer trying to capture hawks photos at the Mount Royal without much success, and here is one that comes in my  garden and poses for almost 2 hours …

Warning: some photos may seem a bit harsh for the faint of hearts.
