I managed to visit the Brecon Beacons back in June, it’s a place I have longed to visit for ages. The main purpose of my mini holiday was to get some shots of waterfalls that are abundant in this area, but I also noticed that there was a Red Kite feeding station close to our B&B. After reading some info on how to take BIF shots, I decided to try out the back focus method when I visited the station. Since this was my first foray into BIF I clicked away with bated breath hoping to get some decent shots. I didn’t even look at the images in camera, I waited till I got home to check them out. When looking at them I was pleasantly surprised, I had more keepers than I thought possible. Though not up to the standard of some people on this site, I was very happy with the ones I managed to get.

Wow! Incredible shot. I only wish it was larger, but you got some absolutely fabulous detail in this image.
