Great shot Regis!!

Aspire. Don't be jealous. Learn from.

Regis shown how the Tamron 150-600mm can have a definitive DOF. I learned from his lead to understand what I was doing wrong.
Regis is a Master.

Thank you, Sonny, but I am not a Master. They are the ones who put their great wildlife photos on the magazine covers. Of course, they are using $10,000-$20,000 worth of photo equipment which I can't afford.

I do have a 5d iii but never really thought about it as a sports or BIF camera due to the lower fps whereas the 7d ii is very high. If you think it would work,I guess I'll,have to give it a try. Hope there are not any compatibility problems between that lens and the 5 iii like there is withe 7ii. Thanks again.

I picked the Canon 6D because of it's small size and light weight plus it's high ISO's and great resolution. However, if you are doing a lot of BIF shots, the Canon 5D III, will do a better tracking and fast focus job. However, you will pay about $1400 more for this camera. I just don't don't shoot a lot of BIF. Thank you for your good comment and looking at my photo, Donkas1946.

I have an older 170-500 Sigma and never even considered taking action shots with it. I have to try that!

Thanks Regis....The wife and I shoot hand held. And the Tamron can be a little bit of a load sometimes.

Found this little gadget that really helps with the center of gravity for the lens...
