What an Amazing Photo!!

[Angst]

thats because they wear two heinnie haynes bracelets, as opposed to chucks one...

Watch a weasel or stoat take a rabbit some time and you will know they are, pound for pound, much harder than Chuck Norris

blistering photo and an absolute shame it isnt fuller frame and pin sharp because if it was it would likely win every major award this year that there is...

ta for posting, its one to remember...

haha yes I got that wrong sorry, but you know the intended meaning.

IF and it is a might big IF the photograph is genuine it is truly outstanding an amazing clashes of coincidence, having the camera set for the right distance photograph just at the moment an unexpected and fleeting event took place.

But I still believe it's just another fake, the guy is probably better at using his MAC than his CAM.

As long as we're nitpicking, then "logically" we'd understand from the context; whereas to properly make you're point you should've said, "grammatically."

I would need to see more photographs of the events for it to be believable to me.

if his camera was good enough to take a perfectly focused fleeting event surely he would have taken more than one frame, even when the bird supposedly landed etc etc.

Just one unbelievable fame - sorry but NO it is unbelievable.

Lets see if I understand what you've said. You find it too unbelievable that he got a near impossible once in a lifetime shot, but you'd be willing to believe it if he'd done a near impossible feat twice?

I am very suspicious of the shallow focus being exactly on the fast moving subject, so precise that the background is totally blurred.

.

Its a common effect caused by "depth of field"

See? Sharp bird, blurry background.

Quite possible for even a rank amateur to photograph a mustelid encountering a bird

For those who shout photoshop here's some additional photos provided by the photographer... maybe now they might accept the validity of the original photograph

i'm not saying that the shot is real or fake...i'd leave that to the experts....which i'd say, no offence, you're not....based simply on the fact that you think the image is perfectly focused. and you've no knowlege of d.o.f. either.

i've been a semi-professional photographer for 20 years and before i'd even noticed the subject matter i noticed it wasnt sharp....hence my earlier post.

and my camera is good enough....but even on full auto sports mode theres ABSOLUTELY no guarantee of, in haste, getting even the one shot at speed, let alone two.
