Ugly perches have been the bain of my photographic\u00a0existence lately.\u00a0 When a bird lets me get unusually close it always seems to be on a metal post, sign, hunk of concrete , telephone pole or even a sailboat mast.\u00a0 For that reason I’ve\u00a0been attempting a lot of take-off shots recently.<\/p>\n

\u00a01\/1600, f\/6.3, ISO 500, 500 f\/4<\/em><\/p>\n

Case in point: a few weeks ago this hawk let me get ridiculously close but it was perched on a particularly unattractive metal sign.\u00a0 The light angle was good so I removed my teleconverter and waited to see if it would take-off, fully expecting it to launch away from me as they usually do.\u00a0 What a pleasant surprise when it took off parallel to me and gave me good eye contact at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I particularly like the good detail,\u00a0the blood on the feet from its last meal and the nice look at those namesake “rough legs”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
