p.1 #1 · Coming up EMPTY-HANDED, but not always...

Spent 10 days in Florida last month shooting Osprey, even though the weather certainly wasn't ideal the Osprey were very active. They were only successful about 30% of the time in coming up with a fish. Here's some of the action shots I was able to capture.

ILCE-1 FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS + 2X Teleconverter lens 600mm f/5.6 1/2500s 1000 ISO 0.0 EV

ILCE-1 FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS + 2X Teleconverter lens 600mm f/5.6 1/2500s 2500 ISO 0.0 EV

ILCE-9M3 FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS + 2X Teleconverter lens 600mm f/5.6 1/3200s 800 ISO 0.0 EV

ILCE-1 FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS + 2X Teleconverter lens 600mm f/6.3 1/3200s 1000 ISO 0.0 EV

ILCE-9M3 FE 300mm F2.8 GM OSS + 2X Teleconverter lens 600mm f/5.6 1/3200s 800 ISO 0.0 EV

So you went for the lighter weight of the 300+2x over the your 600 f/4?

Amazing shots, spot on Louie these are a treat

Beautiful shots, Louie. I was noticing how one of them was using its tail it seemed like to sense the surface of the water to get an idea of how close he was maybe? Really cool shots.

Great shots! The first one really grabs me - feels like I'm right there in the action about to get splashed.
