Hawk

Set G-1-2

A couple of years ago, I started playing with a new technique that is only useful in specific cases. At the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, they have a free flight demonstration against a (usually) clear sky. This allows me to do a multiple exposure so you can see the different movements of a hawk’s flight and how they gain speed. Here, it’s particularly interesting how hawks become almost vertical when turning.
