A couple of bird photos to add. This one is a Northern Harrier caught at the critical moment of going in for the kill. And these to good looking devils flew overhead at a pretty good altitude but the 300mm brought them in nicely.

Week 8 - Roadside Saw this very small hawk flying along the roadside marsh. Jumped out of the truck and ran to the rear to try and capture a shot or two of him flying away. Just as I got ready he did this flippy twist in the air and dove for something in the water which I would guess was a...

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. 1/3 crop. Shot using continuous focus with 9 points. Total of 17 with this young lab sprinting a line about 30 degrees off from me to its ball thrower. Of the 17 focus was missed on two shots which of course could have always been me as the dog was sprinting...

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. Shot with a teleconvertor and at high ISO 1250 as it was predominantly in the shade. Moderate cropping. Late low afternoon sun casting a strong blue on the water. I can't explain it, and would even argue myself otherwise, but I just don't see images as...

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. These were shot in different locations with the 1.7 teleconvertor. First one in the shade away from the reeds, second out on the pond closer to the golden colored reeds. Cropped to an 8x10 versus 8x12, otherwise no cropping. Shot at a distance of about 10...

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. No cropping, no teleconvertor. Nice detail captured.

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. This one was not cropped and shot with the Nikon 1.7 teleconvertor. Pleasantly surprised at how well it did. It seems this teleconvertor does not like trying to bring in small detail on a small target. However, bringing in a larger target it seems to really...

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. I wished this one had given me a better line of sight. Unfortunately it did not. Heavy heavy cropping - a little more than 2/3 cropped out and shot in D7100 crop mode.

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. HEAVY cropping on this one shot through the brush. The lens worked very well focusing in combination with the D7100 shooting in crop mode. The D7100 has an outstanding focus system that worked smoothly with the lens. Interesting thing is that these birds...

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. This one was completely recovered and pulled from the shadows. Hard hard lighting conditions. 1/3 cropped out due to distance. Very happy with it.

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. Not much of a crop on these two. Mostly off the side to get it to an 8x10 format. This one had a lot less natural contrast to it's feathers - soft transitions.

Shooting today with my 300mm f/4. A number of individual photos with this lens are following with comments on each photo and the exif data attached. Cropped out about a third of the photo. The goose just didn't come in that close. Love the color of the water. The blue is from the overhead sky...

Re: Rented a 300mmf4 for a week @Whiskeyman I have always been a little skeptical of computerized focus because it's not the real world. My logic is that the glass focusing at a real world distance will be different than what it would be close up focusing on a chart. I'm not saying it doesn't...

This shot amused me. First, I was surprised at how clean it was being shot at ISO 800 on my D7100. Second, as I'm looking around the image I realize there is a spoon in the image.

Seemed like a good idea at the time to ride down the hill.

Cowboys and their trusty steel steeds.

I love spiny weeds.

Radio Flyer... didn't know they made tricycles.

Struggled trying to come up with an entry for "Bark" for my Area 52 Project. This one I thought turned out nice with the light filtering through.
