    Default Red-tailed Hawk with Lunch



    Hamilton Mountain, Ontario, Canada
    60% of full frame, levels, sharpening.
    Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S VR
    1/3200s f/4.5 at 400.0mm iso320

    I believe my D300 was 2 days out of the box, and I really do not remember how I had the camera set up, but I must have had a few AF settings correct... I watched this bird fly and snag this mouse, and I sure was amazed when it decided to come back and chow down not far from where I was set up. Far from the best editing, I look forward to hooking up with my new instructor, and getting my training started.

    thanks for looking, and take good care.

    Great wing position and way cool with the prey item. If the bird had had its head turned just a bit towards you both the bird's face and the furry little thing would have been better lit. All in all well done and impressive.

    Thank you once again Artie, your critique is valued, and appreciated., indeed the light was poor, I really think I should give this shot another crack at the editing., it is a tough one for me.

    This new contact I have knows Thomas Knoll, he is a master, and is interested in learning bird photography, so I can see this friendship will develop. He also wishes to become a co-host in my workshops., so this could be very interesting.
