Two shots from a short outing last Saturday. Both shot from car, resting on edge of the window. I should look into getting a car mount.

Hope you like!

Both look great Kester.

I find the freedom of moving my camera around worth more than the stabilization provided by a window mount. You can also use a bean bag, or a monopod in a car.

I simply rest my hand on the window when I want more stability

Another new to me species Kester - I've not seen the tyrant before, and I'm not too sure about the AKF either. Did you shoot the kf in Africa?

Thanks, I'll think go with a bean bag.

Very nicely done Kester, the Tyrant is a marvelous shot!! I will second Morris on just using a hand on the window frame shooting from the car, that's how I do it.

Very nice set here Kester unless you are shooting out the window a whole lot the money you would spend for a window mount in my opinion would not be worth it I have a piece of 3/4 inch pipe insulation which is split down the middle and fits on the window very nicely

Two superb shots Kester...I wonder what make one a tyrant and the other just a king...I guess the king is a bit more benevolent...but don't tell that to the fish it catches.

Thanks, these are in South America. The tyrant is fairly common here, but this is the first time I got a good lock on the male of the species.

Being in the car helped with getting close to the KF. I was waiting for him to dive down to get some fish, but some kids came along scared him off.
