Hey Hutchman,

Very nice shots. That back lighting makes it a tough shoot, but you handled it well. I know how hard it is just to get a close shot of these birds. Red tailed hawks in California don't let you get close for very long. Do you use a blind or are you stalking
to get position. hawk65

Excellent poses you caught. There's one that comes streaking through my yard and it's bad luck for any birds that are off guard.

Very sharp photos as well as a sharp shinned hawk, is that your name over there for what we call a "Sparrowhawk" in UK looks very similar. I have just had to go back to the H5+1758tc having dropped my newer fuji. 6 years old now & still takes great photos, just posted a few swallowtail butterfly photos from UK that I took with it last friday.

Thanks for the comments.
No this is not our sparrow hawk, it is much larger.
We have the sparrow hawk but we call it a Kestrel herein US and Canada.

I'm still getting fun out of my H5 and am now waiting for the H100V.

Regards.

I am still getting lots of use out of the H5 and I am now waiting for the H100V to arrive in Western Canada. I think it will suit my type of photography.

I thought I would play with the second photo a little bit. It was my favorite of the three

 

[Hutchman]

Very nice and quite a coincident I did the same thing after posting cloning out the white Flares.

I also cropped tighter on one of them.



I printed all of these shots out at 4 X 6 and they looked very good.

Thanks for the interest,

Regards.
