Desert camp 1998, a photo from Dubaï, Ouest

Photographer's Note

A falcon in a desert camp rests in front of dancing men. One of the most difficult photo I tried to capture. The only light was coming from the near bonfire and the bird was very nervous constantly swiveling had. I had no choice but to spent a whole roll film, 12 exposures, to get the falcon still in a fraction of the second in this frame. FUJICOLOR NPH 400ASA and Photoshop color correction to remove the excessive red from the light of the fire.

Hi Plamen. How appropriate, your name and the bonfire. I like this shot a lot. It has great atmosphere. The dancing men are like ghosts dancing in a circle.Lovely light on the bird. One can feel the nomadic spirit here. Regards. Klaudio.

hello, a nice photo of the falcon
is this a bird adopted by some rich arab for hunting?

Beautiful and unique picture, must have been indeed really difficult to get this result.
