Larry, fantastic photo and yes, they are hard to capture.

The 400mm prime, is that the one without IS? I have looked at one many times but keep talking myself out of it because I have the Canon L 100-400mm Vii along with the Tamron 150-600mm G2.

Greg


Thanks Greg ! ......yes, NO IS - the prime is smaller and lighter and very fast focus because of the smaller/fewer optical elements.

I think everyone knows how hard it is to photograph these guys. They are quite elusive and most times when you can get a shot of them they are in very low light forested areas. Again, I was around our Osprey tree when this male Pileated showed up. I chased him from tree to tree - and he absolutely wanted to stay on the shady side of all the trees ! He did allow me to get fairly close Because of the fast movement/action I was hand holding ( or trying to). I had to shoot thru a lot of brush and did get several iffy shots, this being what I liked best - which had decent but challenging light.

Canon 80D, Canon 400 prime W/1.4X, hand held, 1/1000, f8, 1600 ISO, about a 20% crop, as always shot as JPEG and PP in elements 9 on my XP computer.

Those big Woodpeckers are something to see and hear as they pound holes into tree bark. Every spring I have one outside my bedroom window drilling the oak tree on the roadway nearby and it sounds like a construction project at daybreak.


Thanks for sharing Blair !
