Driving along the R27 at the West Coast of South Africa, I was able to get this image of a Steppe Buzzard.
Had no time to remove the Converter, so I am not sure, if there is enough space for the bird in the picture?
But - I am sure, you know - the bird won't wait for me, changing the equipment...
Mark III
Canon 500 + 1.7 TC
f 4 / 1/2500 sec / ISO 800
Thank you for looking at my image.
Yes, did not had the need to use ISO 800. I didn't had enough time to change anything: not to remove the Converter and not to change the settings. The last pictures I made before were young owls in the dark trees, so that's why I switched to ISO 800. Then we drove along the road, as my husband suddenly stopped the car for me, to make that image of the buzzard. I had no time to prepare the picture.
But - anyway, with the Mark III, there is no problem to use ISO 800...

Beautiful bird. I never get used to calling them buzzards. I always grew up calling the vultures "buzzards". It may be tight....but it would take much to add some canvas. Wonderful pose and eye contact. Well done.
