...if you take one more picture of me...

LOL...that's what this red tailed hawk seems to be saying to me...

Used the Nikon 28-200G at 200mm. F8 and 1/640th sec shutter speed...

(I love this lens)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Bob

Nice picture.
FYI- It is against the law to kill hawks.

edwardneal · Nov 25, 2004

also taken with the 28-200 G. This guy was in a cage so I used PS to set him free

Hi Edward,

This too is beautiful. I love the way you have eliminated the cage. I wonder if Bob has coinsidered trying to 'remove' the twig cutting across the body of his shot.

Thanks degsy

Great job Edward on the PS...

I thought about removing the twig but for now decided to leave it there...

Perhaps I'll put the original in a rework folder for another time...

Thanks for the comments...

Thanks for the comments...I think you would really love this lens also...it is so versatile, from normal scenics and portraits to macro and telephoto shots...

Small, lightweight and at least as sharp as the kit lens...

Thanks for the comments, yes this lens is pretty sharp on the short end and for macros also...for real tight macros I put my Oly Mcon-35 (62mm filter thread like the lens)...works great...

Nice to be able to go for a walk or hike with one lens and pretty much have it all covered...

This lens lives on my camera 90% of the time now...of course my other lenses all have there special use also...

Nice hawk and good job on the background...isn't this lens a great tool?

Thanks for the look,

mofongo,

what a great shot! we have lots of red tails on the golf course i play and they are quite a sight when they dive the ponds for fish. hope to get a good shot of one soon. they sure don't seem too intimidated by people but maybe they're use to us on the course. have a good one.
