I caught this just after lift off from it's perch. The focus seems easier to lock on as the motion perpendicular to the lens is less at this point. These things move fast and present a challenge to capture.
This was shot using a Nikon D800E with a Tamron 150-600 SP lens at f/8, ISO-100, 1/640 sec.

I preset the camera and waited. When the bird lifted it's wings I pressed the shutter (on continuous) and got off five frames. This was the one and the next as it flew right over me.

These are my fourth time out using this new lens. Longer reach opens up a whole new world. I have read that an extender on this lens doesn't improve the finished image much. I may test it for myself in the future.

Excellent captures. I have the same lens and love its quick autofocus. Mahalo for sharing.
