p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · My first Hawk and HIF


Usually relegate myself to the occasional backyard birding, took my 120-300 sport with the MkII 1.4 attached, I now realize the skill it takes to get a sharp BIF shot...even more impressed with those who post in this forum.

All are heavy crops but damn am I tickled, this could be addictive.

Thanks for looking,

Tom

how close was he? Seeing that you were only using a 300 with a teleconverter he must have been reasonably close. Anyway nice shot.

Most crops are 50 to 75%, it was the closest I've ever been able to get. Both Hawks were along a fence line that runs next to a major thoroughfare so they weren't overly skiddish
