Ken, wow! I knew it was massive, but I didn't realize how long that 600mm
lens is :-)

Ideal solution John. Mount a still camera on it, pan with the bird,
lovely and smooth, fire at will.

Gimbal heads are great, but a decent one is in the $600 range. It's on my
wish list.

No! I know better. To me, this lens' weight does not warrant the 'prox $600,
but it would be ideal.

True. But weight isn't much of a handicap here. I have a nice ball head as well
(Sirius?), and when it's adjusted perfectly it's almost as good as a gimbal.
Like you I will maker do for now.

Yes, I'm sure a gimbal head would be the ideal answer, but my old Bogen
Pro Ball will likely have the job for
awhile.
My K3 weighs less than your K1. :)

When the camera/lens weight
is as heavy as it is with the DFA,
a tripod is preferable. Hand
holding, however, allows a much freer sweeping motion to follow the target.
The longer reach does make it more
difficult to "find" the bird upon take

Nice. The Grackle is very sharp and detailed. Good job on the duck as well.
Shooting birds in flight off a tripod is difficult.

Somehow, you managed to make a grackle look attractive! I also like the
flight posture you caught in the goose image, although the bird reminds me
too much of the hated Canada Geese that befoul everything around here.

A couple images from a local National Preserve. What else?
Shot in the last two days.
After 30 years of scenics and landscapes, this refreshes me.
K3/150-450 on a tripod.
C? Thanks!
