Shots taken on the way home...

Excellent shots Harris. You are one of the only people that I know that could get this kind of shots hand held with that lens.

So when are you getting one? 8)

 

Nice series of images.

Great job hand holding.

You must think of a nickname for a 300 2.8

If Godzilla's the 200-400, then what should we call the 300 2.8? :roll: Nice shots, Harris. You must not drink too much coffee like I do! :wink:

 

Again just superb, I need a ride home like this one. Love the nice warm light keep them coming

 

Beautiful images Harris.

 

Happy Anniversary old man! ;c)

How many years now?

 

Hey Harris -

More great pictures. But will you please stop jerking us Northern folks around with this "while driving home" stuff? Talk about jealousy! Just kidding. :lol:

Have you heard Ron R's plus/minus comments about the 300/2.8 vs the 200-400/4.0? Here's what he told me -

The 300 is a smidgeon sharper although both are super. The biggest advantage of the 300 is that you can shoot at f/2.8 and get very sharp images. With the 200-400 you have to go up to f/5.6 to get the same sharpness, so you lose two stops.

The advantages of the 200-400 are flexibility (which I really found useful at the rookery) and more length.

Have fun choosing. :roll: You know you are going to end up with one of them. Might as well do it know....

Hey Harris,

Your ride home is sure a lot more interesting than mine! Great series of shots! Its really been interesting to see how fast the chicks have grown over the last couple of months. Will they overwinter there or do they migrate even further south?
