New Tammy 150-600mm

[MSnowy]

Just got a Tamron 150-600mm put it on the camera for the first time and walked out the door to see this guy sitting in the back yard waiting for me.

Drove down to look for a Snowy and found this Coopers Hawk just at sunset. Really pushed the iso 12,800 600mm f6.3 1/800

You should go buy a lottery ticket


Beautiful shots Mike, it's a nice little lens to carry around isn't it

Thanks Bill. Ya I couldn't believe the hawk was sitting right there waiting. It must have seen the UPS truck pull away. After I tried yours I figured it will make a nice carry lens for hikes and BIFs

Right now it looks like it is going to warm up nice this week so you should have plenty of opportunities to use it

Nice shots Mr. Snowy. Definitely a fun lens. Hard to argue with the quality, versatility, and weight at that price point.

Thanks. Now if wildlife will keep showing up in the back yard I'm all set. I really have a habit of stopping my truck and jumping out for shots. Just ask BillM

Ooopsie. I forgot to add that it's a wildlife magnet.

You do have great eyes, you were driving and still spotted this. I would have drove right by it lol

Oh I know the feeling. Nearly every morning I drive to work, I see a hawk on a stinking lightpost. Beautiful westcoast 7am light, and they pose on everything man made. ARGHHHHH!!!!! But, I still pull over depending on traffic.

It's definitely a good lens, especially for the price. I do the same thing, eyes constantly scanning the trees while driving (saw 3 Hawks just today) but I feel like I'm bound to crash one of these days

Very nice. Always a good thing to have your subjects waiting at the door . The detail in the Tammy looks great. What did you shoot the first one at? I am waiting for a Sigma 150-600 to come. Hopefully it will come before my annual trek to Florida to shoot the big birds.

Looking forward to what you think on the new Sigma WG

I really like the colors of the second photo. For pushing the ISO I think it looks really good.
The first one seems really orange but I am viewing on an iPad so you can take it FWIW.

Nice start with the new lens. i'm sure it is not as sharp as your big boys, but it sure is easy to carry around and shoot with isn't it? Much easier than lugging a pod around and a 10# chunk of glass
