Buteo buteo

[GREENGRASS]

My first attempt at a Buzzard ( Buteo buteo ).
Any advise appreciated.

Probably a nice reminder, but not really sharp enough in my opinion!

A good attempt Greengrass but those kind of shots will only improve with time
I see you were at 400mm with that shot, is that an L glass lens?

 

[GREENGRASS]

Yes u8myufo you’re correct I was using a Canon EF 100 x 400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM Lens.
I have not long had it bought from Kerso. I am still getting use to the lens and have not probably used it to its full potential as yet. But they say practice makes perfect so I try to practice at every opportunity.
The lens is currently on my Canon 400D with a battery grip attached which helps it balance very well. It’s just me that actually needs to improve.

The buzzard was some distance away and the picture has been cropped a great deal. I think in a few months time when I have mastered the lens I will be in the position to post some improved shots. ( hopefully )

I've yet to get a decent shot of a buzzard, missed an opportunity the other day, good light, by the time I grabbed the camera I couldn't believe how high he'd climbed in such a short time, reckon he'd give a Eurofighter a run for its money.
