Carp leaping

Fantstic picture that ! How long were you waiting for that to happen or had they been jumping in that spot anyway, spawning i guess this time of year ?

 

I had been at the location for approximately 3 hours. Initially I was after a shot of the geese fighting one another. However they were never in the right spot for me. The carp had been coming out of the water most of the time I was there. I noticed they normally came out twice so I just waited and moved quickly when required; this was only my second attempt as the light had deteriorated and my first attempt only caught the splash of the water about 10 minutes previously. I was just about to pack my gear away when this fish obliged by leaping for from a distance of 35 x 40 yards. Maximum zoom, large ISO, F5.6 I think and camera mounted on a gimble head which really helped with the shot.

Hope this information has helped.

Regards
