Second day with new lens - Buzzard

[mikeyb]

Just a quick couple of shots grabbed out the car window before he flew off. Not bad but still not convinced its a big enough step up from the Canon 100-400L to warrant keeping or wait to try and save another £1500-£2000 and get the Canon 500 F4 IS. Will need to try both lenses side by side to see which one I'm keeping.

#1 - 500mm - ISO 400 1/250th F6.3

#2 - 500mm - ISO 400 1/250th F6.3

Thanks bro, still trying to get the hang of this monster but getting there I think, will decide by middle of the week if keeping it.

See ya,

Mike.

Really like #2, lovely feather detail.

will take a bit of getting used too especially without IS, weather conditions not helping being so dull...........

Great captures Mike ... ... and pretty sharp too ...


Not sure if they are not a tad too warm in colouration ... :shrug:


Good luck with the lenses ...

Nice shots sir ,how do you focus on a shot like this and where on the Buzzard do you focus..(where abouts on the bird itself)

Lovely shots, i like the first - he is looking straight at you.

The traditional method is to focus on the closest eye in wildlife and people photography.
