Screaming bullet - Peregrine Falcon Stoop
Arash Hazeghi
Peregrine falcon stoop. During a high-speed stoop the peregrines can accelerate to 200+ mph making them the fastest animal on the planet. Although I cannot tell how fast this juvenile was flying but it appeared from afar and landed a few yards away in a matter of seconds. Shot with A-1 and 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 ISO-2500 f/6.3 1/3200 sec. Handheld. processed with C1P. Zone AF pattern.
Juvenile falcon 2 sec tracking sequence in low light. Sony A-1 and 200-600 30 fps RAW
Screen shot from Capture One Pro 100% raw view. there were 30 frames in this sequence, all of the frames are equally sharp as the camera tracked the falcon head-on against a varied background in low light.
