Originally posted by Auzzie-Phoenix Definitely some nice pictures there. Though I have to ask... which lens were you using for that first image? It has some rather interesting grain going on in the background.
I think the first one was cropped a little more, other than that they were all taken with the DA*300 + DA 1.4 TC. I would blame the grain on the high ISO and extra cropping.
I wish I'd taken a picture looking across the lake so you could see how poor the visibility was. There was so much smoke in the air that I almost didn't bother going out but the eagles were close enough that I thought I'd be able to get some decent shots.
Here are a few from the next day, with much better visibility.
