Local Wildlife Refuge Pics using Tamrom 150-600mm

[badrano]

Finally got the time to post some of these pictures. I rented the Tamrom 150-600mm the other weekend and took a hike through a local wildlife refuge.

I'm posting a couple of pics that were taken mostly at 600mm handheld. Please feel free to C&C.

I used ISO 1000 for all the shots. Now that I think back on it, I should have attempted a lower ISO



600mm, F/7.1, 1/2000s

To give a perspective, here's the above shot at 150mm




500mm, F/11, 1/1250s


600mm, F/9, 1/400s


380mm, F/8, 1/1250s


600mm, F/8, 1/1600s


600mm, F/8, 1/160s

Don't know why the other 3 pics attached as thumbnails....but they were all at 600mm

Love the pictures.

Where is this place located?
I'm right inside PA and have no issues with driving an hour+ to visit nice parks.

This was the John Heinz Wildlife Park right next to the Philly airport.

Thanks. I wished I went 600mm on the Osprey, but I was still in the learning phase with trying to track at such a long focal length

I have to save up a little more money before I can get this lens....then I'll have plenty of time to work on my techniques.

Nice set! Gotta love turtles and ducklings on the same log.
