Andy, these were taken on March 10 and 11. Try the slopes around Aguereberry for the bachelor herds of big rams. Take at least 300mm glass, more is better.Lighthawk said:Incredible shots, Stephen. That's some sweet light and cooperative subjects, captured perfectly!
What seasons are the ewes hanging around Hole in the Wall? We may be in the vicinity over Christmas break.
Nice one, Stephen!Wandering Sagebrush said:I finally got out with a camera today. I picked up a new lens last month, and finally got to exercise it. All things considered, I was pleased. Nikkor 300/2.8. This shot is at 100% crop. The bird is at least 80 feet out.
Are you sure we don't need a camera geek thread? We're starting to go down that rabbit hole.Lighthawk said:Thank, Stephen. With my slower 5.6 lens I end up shooting shutter priority (opposite of everything else I do). I set time value for 1/1000 min. and sometimes in better light push for 1/1600. I let ISO float on auto to support the shutter speed. Noise reduction has become less important with improved camera bodies.
Funny, I used to think it was just exposure time and the lens aperture to consider. I didn't give film speed too much thought once it was loaded in the camera (tri-x anyone?). Now ISO is one of the big three variables I play with constantly to optimize my shot.
I can see how the edge of the rear wing of the harrier could be leaving the focal plane.
