Hi there

I have really fallen in love with this lens. Here are a few of my captures this month, captured in Andøy, Northern Norway, handheld only.







Cormorants and Great black-backed Gulls united.






White-Tailed Eagle in flight.





I believe this is a Greylag Goose, however I`m not certain.




Eagles AND Geese. Optical illusion created because of the narrow focal area of this lens, and because of the distances between the motives Focused on the eagles to achieve this.





Whooper Swans, twice





Have a nice evening, folks

Thanks a lot, that`s very kind of you

I can only say that it is a joy to finally have a long tele that is relatively sharp and was something I could afford. Paid around 90 dollars for it.

Not bad at all - that eagle in flight shot is very good.
