Beautiful! Lovely light and feather details. I've always wanted to see a peregrine up close. How did you manage approaching the subject and capturing the image?

Appreciate the comments Brian. These were from a pretty well known spot in Southern California where the birds hunt and nest on the cliffside. It's common for them to use this perch so all it really requires is some patience. As far as being "up close", keep in mind that because of the tiny sensor of the OM-1 these were at 800mm equivalent. And the last two are fairly heavy crops.
