I was walking along the river to see some ducks with my combination of 7D and Tamron 150-600. I shot everything with hand hold and all at 600mm F6.3-F8.
Welcome all comments and critical. And if you would like to try to do the raw file processing, I can share these photos. I have a dropbox now for large files. Thanks!

It is light and pretty sharp when light is good enough. What do you think of the images?

Hello
That must have been exciting to see this action! You have a nice lens, I have this lens also. There are known issues with it tracking properly when in the AI Servo (continuous tracking) mode. HOWEVER, don't judge this lens of any lens of its ability in this kind of light! If you don't have good contrast the AF system will struggle with just about any lens.
I see you had +2/3 exposure, perhaps +1 2/3 may have been better but this is crummy light no matter what. The crops are huge that you are posting and for that they don't look all that bad. Fill the viewfinder with more subject in weather like this and you will greatly increase the quality of image you get

You will much better appreciate you lens when the lights are on! Have fun, don't sweat the processing until you have better light to evaluate the images, keep practicing

Karl

what iso were you using for the juvies? those seem quite noisy when cropped. Nonetheless it's always neat to see eagle images. Did you have any issues with the ai servo tracking?

I was using a 7D, so the images were noisy when ISO was high.

You did give yourself quite a set of challenges and all things considered not too bad. I expect you will find the circumstances that best fit this lens/camera combo. You can't try to compare it to other lenses costing many times more. It will produce very nice images and give you much enjoyment hopefully for years to come.

I went out to continue the testing. It was sunny day but there is only one eagle flying by.
