The photographer and the bird both did!

True that! ;-)

Seriously though, now that I’ve been learning about & practicing photography with a “real” camera using manual settings I can appreciate how much skill (and some luck) go in to capturing a shot like that.

The exposure is perfect and the focus is amazing—the bird’s eye/head is razor sharp as are the water drops closer to the camera, yet the bird’s right wing (and the very tip of the left one) as well as some of the other water drops are blurred, very effectively conveying the movement of that fraction of a second in time. I can’t help but wonder what settings he used…
