Went to my nephew's baseball game yesterday, early evening, and took the Canon Digital Rebel along to get some pics. The game was a bust---my nephew's team went down 11-1 and it was called for the "blowout" rule. But at the park, on top of about five different light poles, were osprey nests.
And boy those suckers were active yesterday.
One of them was flying around with a fish in its talons, at times lighting
on a power pole to peck at its meal. I put on the 80-200 lense and hit the
jackpot. Got some simply incredible close-up shots of the osprey flying in
BEAUTIFUL sunset light.
This may be old hat for some of you who have had digital SLRs for a while,
but for me the ability to take these sorts of action shots is incredible,
after years using digital cameras that take much too long to focus and take a picture.
