[QUOTE="STM, post: 561249, member: 12827"] This COULD have been the "money shot" I have been searching for. Ok, I admit, my patience grew a little thin with this female after 1.5 hours. All she did was sit and squawk. I had the camera set up, focus pre-set and a remote trigger plugged into the camera. I got up and rousted her from her nest and then hastily returned to my position. When she got near I just pushed the button and let the D700 do its thing at 8 fps. And every time she always returned with her back to me. Had she been facing me this would have been the shot I have been yearning to get. It would have been a great image and would have sold well. But persistence will pay off and I will get it! Tomorrow when I roust her I will see the direction she returns and set up the camera accordingly. No need for the Beast on this one, I used the 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS and TC-14B. Effective focal length of 420mm was plenty of optical horsepower for this one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]214667._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
