Yet another Red Kite
One from yesterday afternoon at Gigrin Farm. Thanks to Mike for organising such an enjoyable day and to all the other NPNers for being such good company.

E-500, 300/f2.8 + 1.4 TC. Slightly cropped on right-hand side and bottom to centralise it. Levels, USM.

Nice one Paul - the grey sky works well here I think.

Well done and not as easy as it seems!

Superb

For those not familiar with the Oly 2x crop, that's a flight shot with 840mm equivalence. :toast:

Paul - Loks like the AF system holds up pretty damned well even with a "lowly" E-500

I am getting impatient for that much promised E-Pro to come out later this year :wink:

Hi Mike,

I was very pleased with how well the AF performed with the 300/2.8. It never felt like it was stuggling.
