Take Off and Landing...



As we near the days of maximum daylight in the northern hemisphere I'm taking full advantage of the available light: Early starts - late finishes.
The top image shows the second flight out of Bournemouth International Airport at 6:50 this morning (I missed the first as I was unsure as to which direction planes were going to take off), and was shot from the eastern end of the airfield.
The shot of the Grey Heron (Andrea cinerea) was purely a chance encounter, as I found the bird fishing on a pond at my local golf course - shown here in the process of landing.

300mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor.

Top: 1/2000 second at f/4.5. +0.33 EV. ISO 200
