Regis your shots are always fantastic & this one is among the best. How much longer will the feeding frenzy continue. Looks like the Osprey are having a field day.

Amazing capture Regis... as always! And as usual I find myself wishing that I had been sitting next to you when you pulled the trigger! ;-)

The Osprey/salmon season is coming to an end. Maybe another week at best.
Thank you very much, LarryN.

There are a bunch of wildlife photographers beside me getting those good shots of the Osprey and salmon at the SW corner of Hayden Lake in Hayden, Idaho.
So, I am not the only one taking photographs.
Thank you very much, kenneil.

Hi Regis, Great shot. I love the way the wings are positioned so high up. Cheers.

You can tell how long those wings are in this photo (up to 5 1/2 feet wing span). The Bald Eagle has a larger wing span.
Thank you very much, flathead27ford.

Regis . . . I've been forwarding your osprey images to a canon friend. This has generated a question from him:
"It is indeed a great shot...
BUT... I STILL cannot reconcile his shooting specs:
Canon 5Dsr - Canon 400 II DO f4 - Canon 2.0x III - 1/1328 - f/10 - ISO @ 1000
His 400mm prime is an f/4. With a 2x converter, his effective aperture is f/8, which in itself is fine b/c his 5Dsr can probably AF at f/8 (perhaps with just the central AF point but that's all he needs)
BUT... he is claiming an f-stop of f/10. If that is true, then to the best of my understanding of Canon AF, he must be manually focusing. Which, if true, his capture is even that much more remarkable.
Warren... can you clarify my understanding of his shooting specs with him? I don't have an account."
