Prairie Falcon in flight keeping an eye on the camera

This little raptor provided me tons of entertainment over the winter and bunches of photo opportunities.

On this day the skies were gray and colorless so using a trick a fellow photographer taught me, I overexposed the picture a bit to create a ‘high key’ effect – making those gray skies turn white and really setting the subject off from them. I problem should have taken it up a bit brighter but it looks pretty good like this.

Taken February 6th in Adams County, Colorado.
