This guy landed close to me to grab some nesting material, Lucky for me with only a 200mm lens.

That's some shot, Fred! Was this out in the wild? The even lighting almost makes it look like a studio shoot. Great job!

@Dangerspouse... That was shot last year at the Martin County, Florida Fair... It was inside a building so I guess you could say it was "a studio" shot... There are several of us local photographers that get the opportunity to shoot local civic/public events...and this was one of them... I usually shoot 500-1000 shots at these events, and on rainy days, I go through the culls looking to edit them... Thank you for your kind comments...

Thanks for the answer. Controlled lighting or not, that was a terrific capture. :encouragement:

An urban hawk, and somewhat tame. Only had a 70-200mm lens to use.



Z5 + Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G VR

A couple more of that same hawk.

Is this a handheld shot?

Yes it is. I was walking from my car to my house when it landed on the pole

So you use Tamron 150-600G2 which is even heavier than Sigma 150-600C. What strong hands/arms you have!!! :encouragement:

A sudden opportunity is a strong motivator. Good light and a ten-a-second burst speed doesn't hurt either.
