Fishing. Osprey Style.

Captured these today first 2 were with the 350D + 70-200F/4L. Second 2 images were taken with my 300D + 300mm F/2.8

After going out with only one camera + lens quite a few times, and missing a lot of shots due to having the wrong focal length/light capabilities, I decided today to take the 300 and the 350D with both my 300mm 2.8 and the 70-200 4L in order to make the most of the day... This proved to be a great plan, with one issue. The 300D's buffer being smaller than the 350D, it can not burst as many raw frames as the 350D. In between the third and forth photo, the osprey hit the water with incredible force and dragged up the mullet seen in the forth and final shot.. And I watched it all through the viewfinder, but was unable to snap a photo as I was waiting for the buffer to clear... It finally did and then forth shot was snapped off immediately..

Overall it was a pretty productive 2hr session with many photos taken of Osprey, White Breasted Sea Eagles, Whistling Kites, Brahminy Kites and a few Pelicans and Crows all buzzing around overhead...

Enough of the novel... On to the pictures!

Cheers.
