To get this image I was lying on my back with the camera pointing straight up. Finding the angle I wanted was tricky since I use a view camera and everything is upside down and backwards, left to right. The image was made using Kodak T-Max 100 film.
We were hiking in the rainforest of Southeast Alaska. Eagles were EVERYWHERE, though at a long distance, along this creek looking for salmon.
This little bird is a hybrid of a Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird and the fastest animal in all of creation, and a Gyrfalcon.
I took this shot at The Raptor Foundation where do much work in rescuing all types of Raptors. Many are returned to the wild though many are not native to Britain, they cannot be released.

Reminds me of flowing blonde hair and a black caped druid on the right. I have magical thinking skills if you don't know my now.
Magical thinking skills indeed... Trying to put one of my oft remembered sayings from the drug addled late sixties and early seventies... I wasn't drug addled, it was that other guy.
Love it! You are so good at capturing flowing movement in still images. Nice work once again, Nathan!
Thank you ma'am.
Love the flow and that central glow (sorry for the unintended corny rhyme) in this one, Nathan. That big sweep IS reminiscent of flowing blonde tresses.
I'm not sure I find Mr Wilson's second image flattering, especially since once I see it the blonde hair disappears and the druid is vomiting...
One of your better ones in this vein, Nathan - and that's saying something! Good work.
Oh no! Druids vomiting. Thankfully I don't see the Druid and I am glad. Thanks for the nice comment. It was very difficult to make.
