• • I have great opportunity to get some awesome shots. More practice and longer glass is needed.

Nice set of shots.

Very cool! Is it clear if you try to zoom into the photos in the post editing process?

I agree, some longer glass would be awesome but be grateful for the opportunities you have. Still looking for my great eagle shot!

For something like this, it might well be worth renting a 500/600mm f4 for a couple of days. That looks like a golden opportunity!

Very grateful for the wonderful opportunities I have gotten. Zoomed and cropped as much as I'm comfortable with. Thanks

I have thought about that and am trying to save to get that glass. Any recommendations. So far my glass is all Sigma and really like them but am open to suggestions.

Appreciate the feedback everyone

Yep best bang for your bucks Sigma 150-500 APO DG OS HSM or the New Sigma 150-600 contemporary or the New Tamron 150-600.

I agree. Renting might be your best option for the short term (this nesting season). Buying is going to cost you between $1,000 -$10,000. What camera and lens did you use to take these pictures?

Those are nice results with that setup. I think the Tamron 150-600mm on the budget end will get you some nice pictures under the same lighting.

Thanks, trying to decide. Planning a trip to B&H in May. Hopefully they have both in stock and I can get my choice then. There's a big airshow in June that I'm real excited about shooting
