What a beautiful capture of a magnificent bird! The focus, depth of field and the intensity in this birds eyes are magnificent. Thank you so much for sharing.

So much to like about this shot--sharpness, light through the wings, legs showing with talons, and more!


Thanks for the observations. Not the best sun angle, but who's complaining with this opportunity. I am just very pleased that the AF system kept up with the bird and I was able to get a couple of frames without clipping the wings considering how close I was to the bird. Thanks again for looking!

A pleasant surprise while I was out in a wetlands on Ennis Lake Montana enjoying the busy marsh wrens. I spooked him out of a tree and he fortunately perched close by. He (she) sat for a bit checking me out but was not in a good position in the tree to photograph. I guess he finally got tired of me and decided to head back to his original tree and I was able to get him as he headed back.

I recently took the plunged and splurged for a new Sony a1. This shot was taken with the 600mm + 1.4X attached (840mm) and is only two in the series of shots where the wings are not clipped so almost full frame. I have to say, the AF system in this camera is the best that I have encountered. Much better that the A9, but I did not ever have the a9II to compare it to.

Hope you enjoy and as always, constructive criticism is always appreciated.

Priceless capture of a formidable predator. Just imagine how a poor mouse or squirrel must feel seeing this coming!
