Hi Chuck and Mac. You like falcons?

Another of Bio Lab's residents. There was an island with a bunch of seagulls, and I mean a bunch of 'em. An Osprey was fishing just off the point, and the gulls didn't seem interested or impressed at all. I threw the net once for enough bait to keep us busy for the afternoon, and as I got the last chair in the perfect position to be able to reach the cooler and the sand spike holding the "sprint rod", I heard a thunderous ruckus. Looking over, the sky was suddenly full of screaming gulls, and the Osprey disappeared. It took a minute to realize there was a bird on the island where 30 seconds before, you couldnt see a speck of sand, because of the dense population of lazy gulls. I thought it was a buzzard at first, and then watched in amazement as I saw the hunter eating the one gull that didn't make it to the air. I thought at first it was a Caracara, and then remembered my camera was in the truck. By the time I had made it out of the river and up the hill to the camera, more than a couple of minutes had elapsed. Another couple of minutes went by before I could get into a shooting position. I shot some frames before he took off to a not so near-by tree, and this is one of the few I liked. I have not seen the Peregrine Falcon out on the refuge before, but I'm sure I will now that I know where to look..............

I never upgraded from the slow, light sucking Olympus I've had. I keep thinkin about it but I get sidetracked by fishin and or golf. Lol. I shot this around 4 in the afternoon facing the sun with the noisy 600 ml lens. I know Mac is gonna rub salt in my pride and remind me he can shoot with an infinate iso. :wink

naahhh....i don't shoot much beyond iso 400 for moving targets or using a heavy, long tele...400 is enough for almost anything...
on my smaller camera that i use for landscapes, i shoot mostly iso 100 and use a tripod a lot in case i decide to go for an HDR image......
however, there are some good deals on canons to be had;)
