CONDOR CALIFORNIA

Enough of those animations for a while.

I was able to get a few images of -4 flying.

Many times I can photograph them flying from the walk way right out side the
north side Bright Angle lodge entrance along the canyon's edge.

All of those tiny white dots are the film's grain.
This image was photographed using an 800 ISO film at a very high magnification.

The next thing I know is the bird has dropped to a point below me.

But what's even more difficult to photograph is a view of the condor's top side.
The bird must be below you and soaring close to the canyon's cliff side,
plus the sun has to be in just the correct position which is directly over head.

These are two best shots I have gotten of the top view of a condor flying.
