PhotographerMark Smithhas an eye for wildlife photography, and, more specifically, bird photography.
As a photographer, Smith is inspired by the unbridled determination of these birds.
There are a lot of things that are key to capturing osprey hunting, he tells My Modern Met.
You have to be in the right place and at the right time.
You have to be able to read and understand the bird’s behavior.
You have to have the right camera gear and know how to use it properly.
Smith clearly has a handle on all of these things.
His videos show both the successes and the near misses of these birds of prey.
It’s fascinating watching and getting a real glimpse at the athleticism of the osprey.
