When asked, or talking about the use of a monopod I always stress they are not for birds in flight. Actually not for any moving subject. I need to move and follow the subject, not be planted to the ground.
That said, these were taken with a monopod, on a foggy morning. That’s make three strikes against these photographs;
- planted to the ground
- fog
- morning low light
I like these, maybe because of all the above. Still…
Always exceptions.
