Thanks again for looking in!! I'm sorry as well Jack! Pat's talking about going back to see the Eagles this afternoon. We'll see if the micro adjustments helped any.

To get the kind of shots you're trying to get, you'll need a longer lens. The last image of the bird is probably quite nice but too far away.

Excellent shots, Excellent dialog, and Excellent subject.

Thank you Howard! I plan on getting a longer lens. Are you are saying that without a longer lens these could not be clear when cropped in?

Thank you DrCoy for taking the time to look and for the kind words!!

Exactly. In non technical terms ... The more space the subject takes up in the viewfinder, the more you can enlarge it and still have a reasonably sharp image. You can get the image larger in the viewfinder by either getting closer or getting a bigger lens (which in effect, gets you closer).
If you give me the OK, I'll post a shot of a nest at about 100 yds. taken with a 500mm lens.
I would also like to know what lens you were using and if the posted images are the originals or have they been cropped. This info will be needed so we can compare apples to apples.

I do like the series and your running monologue. Would have been nicer if you could have gotten closer or use a bigger lens so that more detail of the subject would tell your story better. Mahalo for sharing.
