I went out to a local park yesterday and found an Osprey nest. I had to check it out again today to see if they would do anything interesting for me. The nest is a few hundred feet out over the water so my angles were limited.
This is the first day I went out shooting birds with my 300mm with the 1.4TC. I saw a snake while out so those are also taken at 420mm (its my "macro" lens as well).
The bird shots were all 1/1000sec or faster and f5.6-f9.5
Snake shots were ar similar settings: 1/1000sec and f5.6
Thanks, I think I tried about 60 shots trying to get the tongue out. It was a very nice day today so I was happy to get out and get some animals enjoying the sun too.
let me know if you come this way...if you want to shoot rattlers...hike Table Rock...however rattlers tend to find you rather than the other way around.
I love the grace of the osprey. Nice looking shots of them. I have seen plenty of rattlers in my lifetime and taking a photo was never an option for me (back up quickly always came to mind first). Although my brother did get a nice one of a Colorado pink a couple of years ago after he almost stepped on him. Luckily he was digesting a rodent at the time.
