I found a Picture of me using the 300mm F* f/4.5 that was stolen in SA (sob, sob) from my mobile hide - about 20 years ago. I didn't appreciate how nice the lens was back then,I just wanted more reach ;(

Always plenty of these at my local duckpond where they hoover up the ducks leftovers.

I like the leaf on the bear's nose - was it much trouble to get it to stick there?

He was smitten by the beautiful Tak 300/4...

Did you use a flash or what is natural light?

natural light. Just luck to have the sun at a good angle.

Yes, good lighting and orientation then. I though for a moment that you used a flash , that's why I asked the question.

You know how you're out looking for birds and there aren't any and you see something interesting and you just shoot it.

DA*300/4 & HD 1.4x

And now back to more sensible stuff.

A few from yesterday and today. The eagle was that close, 300mm. The beach is 300mm, the hawk and otter 500mm.

I like this photo, composition. Not easy to shoot from a canoe. When looking close, AF is slightly front focused, little micro adjust needed?
