Eurasian Griffon flying in the rain in Monfragüe National Park in Spain.

EOS 1DX, EF 4/600L IS II, EF 2.x, tripod,  Wimberley 2.

Normally I shoot handheld for BIF but here a tripod was more comfortable.

Monfragüe is a great place to get shots of those birds.

First I didn't like the rain but I really like this shot. The 1200mm focal length really made the drops come out.

Hope you like it.

Very nice one!
The rain drops does not bother me at all, in fact it adds to the image IMO.

Hello Markus

Good catch here! the rain really adds to the mood. what was the shutter speed ?

Would probably convert nicely to BW?
