As surprised as I was when this great crested grebe surfaced right in front of me it never ceases to amaze me how quickly the human brain can process new information and options. I knew in a heartbeat of getting the bird in frame, and in focus that my central composition, having used my central focussing point, was unsettling and that I wanted to rotate the camera from landscape to portrait position. This was so that I could balance the image better by including the whole reflection of the bird, as opposed to it being cut off as it is. In that same moment I also recognised, from its low slung body position and alert posture, that the grebe was about one second away from diving, taking its fish and any possible image away for good. I had three options at this moment and my brain was frantically running through them all. The first option was to turn the camera around really quickly into portrait shape, the resulting movement would of course cause the bird to dive and I’d get no images. The second option was to turn the camera really, really slowly in which case the bird would have long gone, so again no images. The third option was the one that I chose. Leave the bird exactly where it is and just take the bloody picture! The title of this image, ‘an imperfect something is better than a perfect nothing’!
