Great shot there Dion...you did well cloning the powerline out too!
The bird would be pretty satisfied with that one too

Nice photo of an Osprey. My only nit would be that there is no eye contact - that the birds head hasn't turned to you.

good capture of an osprey. We dont really get these down my way although a pair is nesting on the northern beaches.

Wonder what lens and percentage of frame this is??

Kipper - I got that one away earlier while it was on its perch (power pole) :wink:

It was shot with my 70-200 2.8L fitted with Sigma 1.4x TC. Strangely the focal length was reported as 140mm

but I'm sure it was further away than that. Shot at 1/800th, f5.6 (1 stop from wide open) and ISO 400.

As far as cropping, its about the middle 1/3rd of the photo (give or take). Was originally a landscape shot.

Dion, This is GOLD!!!!!
Hehehehe, its awesome!!!

Both images are excellent Dion. To actually photograph the Osprey with its dinner is a $64,000 shot

Definately a great catch. Is that a full size picture or a crop?

Both shots are cropped, about 1/3 to 1/2 the original frame.
