  • Lords of the Dance

    The grebe dance as seen through my E-5 and bigma :


    1.


    2.


    3.


    4.



    Anyone who has some grebes close to them this time of year, I'd encourage you to try and see this amazing display - it's very difficult to describe how graceful these fine birds are.
    Thanks for looking!

    Great captures and spot on focus.I liked your video as well even if it's not really my thing.

    You must be well pleased with the performance of the 50-500 with the E5.

    Well done.
    All the best

      Stunning shots, beautifully captured. The bigma certainly works well with the e-5.

      Thanks for sharing.

                Nice set Danny, I was lucky enough to catch a similar sequence last year but not as good as yours.
                Regards Paul.

                  Brilliant images....I have a pair that allow me to get quite close BUT they only seem to display in the distance.Mind you even if they were a few yards away I could not even dream about getting this quality.

                      That's a really special thing to see, and an absolutely cracking set of images too. Well done, and thank you for sharing them

                      I'm sure there are some Grebe at Keyhaven, maybe we'll see them dancing too. I do hope so, it's something I've never seen.
