Great Gray Owl

[Paul Kammen]

Living "close" I can run up to the Sax Zim Bog for half days at times, and last week was able to see a great gray do some hunting.

I was pleased overall with this image, and have been looking carefully at images taken with the 600 TC VR lens with the TC engaged;
everything I've looked at and seen does not show any loss of detail at 840mm, which is what this was shot at; I own the 800 as well
but will be selling it in a few days. If anyone owns both an 800 and 600 please let me know if it makes any sense to own those,
but on Nikon's side as the 600 has a switch to move it to 840mm 5.6, it seems to make more sense to just have one super tele,
less worry, and it's also slightly brighter.

Thanks for any thoughts, they are fun to watch hunt. The only bummer was a photographer's posterior was in the way who was
much closer to the owl so I could not get him diving to hunt.
