Thank you John. It’s very kind of you to say so. The Tamron 16-300mm lens does a great job. Also having the camera set to the burst shutter mode gives me a lot of images in very short period of time. I’ve read that the middle images in a burst are more likely to be in better focus than the beginning or the end of the burst.
I use it to photograph rodeos, birds in flight, carnival rides and anything else that moves quickly. Coupled with a fairly high shutter speed it can catch a bull and ride in an un-blurred capture.
Thank you, John. I’ve been taking some courses from Matt Kloskowski. This year I finally decided to learn Photoshop. He’s an excellent teacher – well paced and thorough. I’m now taking the “Art of Editing Landscape” from Matt. Much of what he teaches in that class is good for this and other non-landscape photos. I’m not getting paid to promote his classes. LOL.
Have a great evening and all the success to your photography.
Wonderful shot of a magnificent bird. I like the contrast between the airy tail feathers and the strong, smooth wings. The tree appears to be eucalyptus.
Thank you Mike. Yes it’s a eucalyptus. There are 2 large ones they roost in. These trees are thick and seem to give them more protection. It does make it more difficult to photograph the nest making.
