The Eyes Have It

Out watching a pair of Red Tailed Hawks building a nest I spotted these American White Pelicans settling in on the other side of a lake. I am still trying to find the limits of my Nikon 7100 and Sigma 150-600 f5-6.3 C lens so I took a photo as a trial. I must admit that I was not expecting a lot at that distance and settings. What I got convinces me that this is a very capable lens. The shot was about 400 ft away (by EXIF data) at 600mm, 1/1250s and 800 ISO and on a tripod. PP was PhotoNinja and GIMP with about 40% crop.

Looks like a blustery day. A very cool shot with super detail.

Thanks Linda, yes as usual in Wyoming. And also it was late afternoon with a bit of haze.

Very nice for that distance and focal length.
Thank you, if I can now become consistent with this lens I will be happy indeed.

This one made me smile.
That alone was worth posting this photo, smiles are really a great thing.
