Chronophotography is a photography technique where you take pictures of one particular moment and then present them in one frame. This technique became famous during the mid-19th century. With the use of this method, the wildlife photographer lets you have a clear view of an Osprey during a hunt. You can see that diving with full concentration and claws stretched out the bird is trying to get his prey.

By these clearly detailed photos, you can understand how skillful the photographer is. The feather of the birds are a bit oily so that they do not get vet and also their underbelly is light in color and so they are not much visible to the prey. Their large legs and their very sharp claws are more noticeable than anything. They have spicules, a small spike-like thing under their toes. And also their nostrils close during the dive so that water doesn’t go in. All these features of the large birds help them to catch fish that are under the water.
