GBH, 2 Tweets and a few more Hawks

coastalconn · Jan 26, 2016

Catching up from the past few days. I had a pretty wild time with a GBH (both with the 200 prime) yesterday, never came accross one so tame, also a female Cardinal and a mocker. Came across the Juvenile Hawk from yesterday also. Thanks for looking and comments welcome..

6 This was almost full frame with the 800. That lens is just about impossible to handhold, but I have managed..

I posted those samples in the Canon section so you could see what the lens can do.. Still can't stress enough you have to be very close!

I'm still saving up for "big glass" , but if I can get a 200 for the right price it's a no brainer for me.

All wonderful as usual. Love the GBH pose in #2 and the perspective on the Cardinal #3.
Getting down on the ground or simply low enough to eye level with the subject makes a world of difference. I have just as much respect for your doing that as I do with all your other photography skills. Kudos to you for lugging and sloshing around with your gear to get and share fantastic shots with us.
