First Osprey-gasm with the big ugly white lens

coastalconn · Jul 6, 2015

Finally the moment I have been waiting for. The true test of my switch to Canon and lugging around an 11.5# combo and shooting handheld. For the Canonites, I used case 4 with 15 point zone. Some of these Osprey were really close. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

I have a set from today if you want to see more, had a hard time choosing which ones to post... Osprey-Gasm 7 6 Flickr - Photo Sharing

Amazing ! #1 is outstanding in an elite group. I also like the expression on the wet one.

Kris,

WOW. You give me insperation to keep learning and trying new things with my camera. Your body of work is outstanding and i can only hope to one day be able to produce images of this level of quality. Thanks for sharing

big ugly white lens can produce some beautiful BIF pics

If that lens is just way too big and white, you might think about some camouflage for it.

Kris great sequence - so the conversion from the dark-side wasn't too painful. :biggrin-93:

I think I like #2 the best. One could almost caption it - "Oh no, now what?" Number 4 with the flying fish is a close second.

Great set, #4 especially

Outstanding thread Kris, but I'll have to say that you seemed to be getting a lot more details out of your previous gears. Is it because the light was poor, or am I seeing things?

Nice pics as always! When I was watching them during my recent vacation, I thought it was cool how they shake the water off, like a dog! Have you captured this action before?

Well, I don't know, I think it is pretty sharp and renders images really nicely. Here are 100% crops I think they hold up pretty well for wet ospreys moving...

LOL, I have a lenscoat that lives on it. Can't even imagine shooting without the camo...
