No, Pat I never use a tripod for my wildlife shots. This lens with it's fast focus and great VC (vibration compensation) make it easier to hand hold while taking my shots.

Thanks Regis for your time to reply. I am amazed that these are all handheld. Wow!!! is all I can say.

A regal Bald Eagle pose.

I was close to this Bald Eagle who seemed to strike a regal-like pose.

I went to see the eagles this weekend in Clarksville, MO but my shots with mtg 70-300 just frustrated me so much. Now I am considering the Tamron after seeing this.

More House Finch photos from yesterday which was cold but sunny. The sunshine helped bring out the detail.

These photos were taken about 20-25 feet away @ 600mm.

These are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Tamron 150mm photo compared to Tamron 600mm one.

Hi,

Are you using a tripod with all these fantastic photos? I have been trying to talk myself out of the Big Sig, but these are fantastic and make me want the Tamron.

Making a WOW Photo

I feel when I do not try to make something happen, the WOW photo will show up for me, just waiting for me to take the photo. I keep my eyes open and just allow them to present themselves. I think it is just a feeling and a sense of what works and what is special.

Questioning oneself as a photographer

Once you become completly satisfied with your work, you will not get any better. Disatisfaction will make you strive to get better.

This is a great quote. There is always a better shot or more interesting one that will show up in the next photo--hopefully.
