Hi
It has been a tuff winter here in Conn., but the birds are finely back and I am trying to work the kinks out of my new Tamron 150-600mm lens, it now back at Tamron for the second time. (Problem with Ai servo focus and tracking on my Canon 7D).
This Ospery was shot at Hammonasset Beach State Part in Ct.
Thank you for stopping by.

1 commentsGreat flight pose, Peter. The Osprey is a bit soft. I'm not sure if that's the lens, or if the focus was just a bit off. I suspect the latter. Autofocus does have problems keeping up with birds coming straight toward one. You might want to switch to Aperture priority instead of shutter priority, or even go to manual exposure for settings like this. f/13 is a lot higher than you normally need for this large a bird with that much lens and the added shutter speed from a lower f/stop helps minimize human tracking error, though it doesn't help the autofocus any.
