These are the first ones I've gotten of a Coopers Hawk taking flight. Them suckas are fast.. And a series of a mature Redtail pitching off a Spruce top. And a eagle from down by the river.. Hope you guys aren't bored with all the raptor pics.. I haven't seen anything else worth shooting - maybe I'll have to sit out by the birdfeeder... Take care Dave
beautiful as always... hey, just out of curiosity, could you list your gear for shooting?? if you don't mind, of course
Thanks a lot guys. SevenMag - I shoot a Nikon D300 and usually have my Nikon 200-400 f/4 VR lens on for most wildlife shots. This series I also had on a 1.4x Nikon Teleconverter. I also have a 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens that is a great lens too for closer subjects. And then I have a 50mm f/1.4 Nikon that I just got this past fall- most of my pics when I'm out hunting with my hawk are taken with that lens. It's a lot smaller than the others. And then I use PhotoShop CS4 for my editing program. (I still need a lot of practice with this...lol...) Hope this helps. Shoot me a PM if you got any detailed questions , I'd be more than happy to help anyone out if I can. Take care Dave
I always love the raptor pictures or any pictures you take. I've bored everyone I know when they come around showing them your hawk pictures and videos. LOL Everyone is impressed.
