• Story of the image

  Image was taken with a tripod, a remote shutter, inside a forest. I followed this bird for 5 years, studying it carefully, knowing its nest, its breeding periods, its hunting hours, and I waited patiently for the right moment!The fifth year I anticipated its arrival by camouflaging the photographic equipment with camouflage nets, branches and leaves. It' s a remote place, I was confident that nothing would happen. Hyperfocal, AF off and remote shutter did the rest
