Finally caught up with large dingo this morning that has killed a few new born calves,after dealing with it in the customary fashion,I selected a large granite boulder to put it on and attach a trail cam on a tree nest to it,to video them coming to feed.When I got back to put cam on-they where already there!-how do they find tucker so quick!
Had the 400 mm L lens-its days like this,that one really appreciate this lovely piece of glass.I've shown the frame size out of camera,and a crop and very basic PP,the PP here does not look as good as the high res version-its going to be worth spending time with some of the frames I got.
Its a about as close as I have been able to get to these big blokes in the wild.Not sure distance I was,approx 150-200 m
Hope this is of interest-thanks for looking-lots of hard work to get a reasonable image of the larger raptor.
Love your image of this magnificent bird!
We occasionally get them flying over, just awesome in full flight. Unfortunately there are still some idiots around this district shooting them.
Yes,Leon-quite happy with the crop,lots of time and hard work gone into getting all factors lined up to get that result.Been planning this photo for a very long time.I am more happy with it than the dingo-but the dingo,was a major part of the puzzle-first class eagle tucker-like what Vinno's resturant is in Brisbane.
Camera specs 50D 400 mm L lens,at 1/800 iso 200,F8 partial metering,Manual mode-always using manual with bright sky involved
