Went to the local State Wildlife Area, again, this AM. Brilliant day and a nice break from recent, but much needed, rains. A pro friend has gotten me into hawks at this point. Am linking a crop from the middle of a shot of a Red-shouldered hawk taken with my trusty FA 80~320. It's serving me well so far, but am anxious to eventually get the DA* 60~250 which, I understand, MAY be available in the spring of '08. I have no serious intention of becoming 'a wildlife photographer' accept on a very casual basis. If I were, I'd be thinking 600mm minimum. All this type of shot takes is being there and shaking the target somewhere within the frame, little PS and cropping. Does give one the feeling of a true "capture", however.
