Here was a goshawk I've been stalking around town. I look out my patio door and it's sitting in a tree. It turned out to be the largest Coopers Hawk I've ever seen. Too bad it was 45 yards away.
I got stuck way too close and had to use a 10mm Roko. It turned out ok but the Zeiss 35mm f/2 Distagon is much better lens. Next Corn Festival I will be better prepared and secure a better spot.
I'm trying to get the PP down on these fireworks shots and here are two more with a lot of export sharpening and two after that with minimal.
Less export sharpened.
The 80-400 G not so good for this, I've got a 300 f/2.8 edif with af'ing TC, 70-300 vrg (worse than 80-400G), and 600mm f4 (kinda heavy). I'm just curious what everyone is using.
I'm leaning towards a 300 f/2.8 VR which (with TCIII 1.4x and 2.0x &600 f4) would let me get rid of all my EDIF MF...
