so much for patience

I dont know - you wait ages and pre focus on where the bird will land, refocus on its eye when it does - hit the shutter and then find its head imploded as you took the shot

Some birds , no sense of concern for the feelings of the photographer

Mark, one of the first things ya gotta learn in critter shooting is "Operant Conditioning".

[Shadowman]

Looks possessed.

Shame it isn't the proverbial chicken

There's no accounting for when the model gets in a strop

oh so true

[Nicola]

anyway, I do like it!

[marlunn]

grand, thanks all - thought it was good for a laugh - sometimes when it does not go right its better than the shot would have been otherwise !

[Nicola]

IMO
it is worth more than a laugh..

[FootLoose]

Is that a 'Regan'?

[mknittle]

That is too good. Not easy to catch the imploding head syndrome. Some have seen it but there are no known photographs. That is until now

[Stagecoach]

That's a cracker !

[IzzieK]

Thanks for the laugh, Mark...every morning I find something to smile about in this forum...makes my day.

[Rebel]

Haha, it does remind me of the exorcist.

[marlunn]
