Green Winged Teal at 1120mm
-
Nice shot. Very sharp for such a long length. The catchlight in the eye is so important here. Must be difficult getting good sharp results with the 800 and 1.4x. Was this a combination of high shutterspeed and IS….??? With a lens that length ye probably couldve saved the cost on the flight ticket and shot that from Ireland :lol: :lol: :lol:

The buddy who loaned it to me also has a real heavy tripod and a whimberly gimble head. Once the lens and camera were balance right on the head moving it around was using really smooth and easy with no effort. At first I didn’t balance it right and it actually started to hurt my shoulder after holding the camera/leans in place for a while. Getting results with manual focus was very hard. I tried using Live View on the 40D but that was hard with a moving subject so I reverted to using the view finder.
Beautiful bird Aidan,
Are we still on for Osprey tomorrow?
Call or Email me.Thats some shot and some lens Aidan! I could’ve saved you the airfare though, there was a couple of green winged teal on Bull Island recently :D
