It's tough to get BIF with the Tamzooka Pat, but you'll get it real soon. I have trouble finding them, but found if I track at 150, I can usually keep up with them and zoom in on them. Keep plugging away.

Thanks Marilynne... I will get it, just gonna practice till it happens!

Many of the "almosts" are actually not bad...

Mine is a REAL almost... been trying to catch a bird in flight with the Tamron and have not had great luck..

Well, this looks like it could have been it... good exposure, clear detail and focus.. BUT......

Chris, if I'm at 600mm and the object takes off, I have trouble zooming out handheld.

In a word Mike, no i didn't. Sherwood Forest in high summer isn't a great place to get a clear shot :beaten:
