First trip out with the tamzooka

Finally saw some wildlife today! After picking this lens up yesterday morning the only thing I saw all day was a chipmunk and some seagulls, and even the gulls were too far away to get a good reading on this thing. After shooting a bunch with it today, I'm pretty happy with it. Under the right conditions I think I'll be able to make some nice images. Wildlife stuff is all so new to me, but it's pretty fun!

These are nice; I love the last two of the GBH. Looks very sharp.

Anyone else get the feeling that particular GBH is the reincarnation of a 1890s-era southern senator?

Calhoun ... I think that Senator's name was Calhoun.

Thanks everyone! It was awesome going out today looking for wildlife. I'd see animals while out shooting landscapes but never really looked for them, it was exciting going out and looking around in a totally new way. Reminded me of when I first started shooting landscapes

Looks like you are off to a great start! It is very addicting! You will be amazed at what you find out there if you spend time looking. Photographing birds/wildlife has probably been the best experience in my life. Keep it up!

Thanks! Your photos really helped me make the decision to buy this lens.

Wow! Great shots of the heron. Even at 600mm you must have been pretty close.
