RenFest part 2: The Bird-like Objects
One of the main attractions they advertise for the Renaissance Festival each year is the Birds of Prey show.
This provided me with the opportunity to really show off my shortcomings as a photographer, and luck into a couple decent pictures.
First up, we have what I think is a Horned Owl. (Then again, it could be the Hawk -- I can't really tell.)
One of the handlers walked by with the Falcon and I was close enough to actually get a pretty good picture of the two of them.
The Black Vulture flew up the aisle right next to where I was sitting, but I couldn't get an action shot as he flew past. I did get a shot of him on the handler's arm before he walked back up the aisle to the stage. He wasn't keen on overdoing the whole flying thing.
So, I'm not completely incompetent with the camera.
Comments
You know, it ain't the easiest thing to do to get a good picture with a digital camera. I'm guessing you took these with a digital...but I could be wrong. But thanks for sharing them, anyway. :P
