Went to the young Redtail's habitat again this morning and not a creature was stirring.....except this young Hawk and a mouse. The mouse did not have a good day so I will spare you those images. Here are some of the Hawk.
The 50D shows it's stuff again - with a little help from Tom. Tom, I have been keeping up with the threads on the 50D, and they can be downright scary. I also see quite a few 50Ds for sale already in the B&S forum. But you have consistently posted outstanding shots with it. Have you had to change the way you shoot or pp to get these results?
Thanx,
Ron
well send him over to Europe...we have lots of rats to keep him company
Dude those close-ups are just unbelievable seriously...amzing detail
Looks like you practically stuffed the lens up its nose
Gee, Tom, and I thought I was out of control when I shot 4 gigs of a cooperative RTH However, fantastic shots and love the close-ups showing the killing part of the machine.
I love the detail on all of them. Would like to see a reply to surfnron's question.
I have the 40D and looking to how to best use the 50D and maybe its extra crop. In any case as said you have proven that sensor is doing a "The Job" with that lens.
congratulations - -now, how do you get this close to the birds
Lil - taking a break from the cleanup job after the California Wildfires....
Hi Lil, hope all is calming down in your part of the world
Thanks and I can't take any credit for my stealthyness. This is a first year Hawk and at this stage they have a singular purpose. Catch and eat as many mice as possible and this one completely ignores me. This morning I could have reached out and touched him/her (although I never ever would do that).
Exceptional shots, in particular the head shots. I'm jealous, there is no way any wild UK bird of prey would let me get that close, not matter if it was a 1st year bird (someone will no doubt make a post now to prove me wrong on this point!).
28 gb!
