Buzzard in Landscape
Hi Guys,

Went out yesterday to look for some raptors. We found this guy hovering above one of the fields and as it was far away i decided to shoot a "landscape" photo of it.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Lovely shot. I've seen Buzzards hover like this many times but have never been close enough to photograph one.

Great shot. I really like this.

You don't need to be close to get a good shot like this - only a 600mm F/4 and a 1.7x Tcon. :rolleyes:

Regards
