Had to wait it out for about 3 hours and all of a sudden the herd showed up and they were fishing close. Just a reminder, to qualify as a gasm, The wind and sun need to be at your back and there needs to be an ample supply of Osprey diving close and grabbing fish. It happened hard and fast and was over before I knew it.. For the Osprey fans you can see more in this album.. Osprey-Gasm 8/24/15 Comments welcome and thanks for looking

Man those are great! Love #1, but #2 beats it.

btw: can you send me the digital file, so I can print it and hang it on my wall?

Major Gasm and SWEETNESS!

#2 is Mutual Of Omaha Wild Kingdom-ish, but digging on The Shake. Love it when Osprey do it and love it when Terns do it.

They are all good but my favorite is #2
Thanks Ron!

Sure, I'm guessing you would like the raw so you can add your own copyright info? :)

the shake is awesome!
I'm a big fan of the shake as well. It's not so often you get to catch one so close up, but some people just don't get it..

Tell me about it, lol. I keep trying to figure out ways to out do myself and its getting harder and harder..

In case you missed it, that was a play off of another thread and people wanting something for nothing. Which reminds me.............. if I have to explain it, it's not really funny. :bek113:

Kris, what does one say after seeing these. I like the first one - always nice to see the "action" as they come screaming down to pick up their meal - sort of like take out for Osprey's, at least the successful ones. :biggrin-93:

Amazing work! #2 is wonderful but the shake in #3 is something very special.

Hmm, it seems I have been away for a while ... Canon ?
That 500mm f4 is a awesome LENS, you really stepped up ... I would love to have the Sony 500mm f4 on my A77II, but I would have to sell my car ... hold on, the lens is worth more than my car.
