Awesome shot.

We just had a brief bout of crappy weather here--sleet, snow, freezing rain--but it's clearing out today and, after running some errands, I stopped out on the porch to check out the wild life. There was a big bird in the oak tree: I figured it was a vulture but it was fighting for balance in the wind and I thought I might get an interesting shot so I took a few with the DA* 300. Chimping them, I was startled to see a white tail so I hustled back in the house, broke out the F*600 and managed to get it set up on the tripod without incident.

BAM!

I'm not seeing it in Safari, neither the desktop nor the iPad...

Just cleared my cache, logged back in, and it still works for me on both Chrome and FF.

Opportunist shooting. I didn't happen upon this guy, he happened upon me. Uncropped at 420mm.

I cleared the Cache, rebooted the computer...nothing.

Only a 60-250 and hand held so totally cheating.

is that enough head room?

Rupert · 02-16-2016, 08:05 PM

It is very rare that I can get enough light for 1/250 f8 ISO 200. Wish I could get it more often!

Regards!

Love the Gray Jay Norm! .......BTW- All my shots are handheld, I don't even know where my tripod is? Best way to shoot is handheld for flexibility....at least for me it is.

Does not show up in Chrome or Internet Exploder for me either, I'm fairly locked down. The image URL is https, going back to the root of the website I can drill down however and see the pictures in the albums. When trying to open in a new tab I also can not getting anything to display, or any errors or warnings.

Nice Eagle pictures by the way dadipentak!!
