Very nice!A little too tight on the left/bottom, but uncropped...what more can you do?! Well done!
Cracking shot! How annoying is that when they come too close for the long lens.![]()
I'd be very tempted to clone out that long foreground stalk Ian. Looks well doable.
Nice one Ian, looks even closer than the Strumpshaw Bittern
I notice it's 600 only and sooo sharp, i mention this as i've just realised how poor my shots with extenders are since using the 1DS and how sharp they are without.
Gorgeous - still struggling to see on never mind photograph it! Regular sightings by others still doesn't mean I have spotted our local one. So you must have been supremely lucky to get this - no doubt luck caused by research, time out in the field, skill to not mess up the shot in the split second you had... usual type of jammy b**tard luck!
Yes it was![]()
I went there for the first time today and saw two large lenses poking from the hide, must have been you two. I saw/captured my first Water Rail. Magnificent shots by the way.![]()
Nice shot Ian. Obviously shame about the framing but who makes a 600 zoom? Well done on the capture.
Was that you asking directions and generally looking lost ? lol
Thanks all, is my second set of shots of a Bittern, but last one i lost the raw files in a hard drive disaster so have been hoping i would see one again![]()
