How does one go about taking such clear photos of a flying bird?!?

He has a 600mm lens with a 2x convertor and a custom tripod and mad skills at being at the right place at the right time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

LOL Thanks.

I do have a 600 f/4 lens, a 2x tele and a custom tripod. However, these hawk pics were taken with a handheld 300 f/4 lens with a 1.4x teleconverter.

As for how I do it – in brief: effort, love, and conscientiousness.

I also get lucky: http://naturography.blogspot.com/2008/08/get-lucky-part-1.html

And then I get luckier: http://naturography.blogspot.com/2008/08/get-luckier-strategy-for-success-part-1.html

Unless we're talking about injured animals which require long term care, please let these birds live free.

Evo, the close up of the hawk's head is awesome. Very nice work! I also loved the lake picture in "Getting Luckier". A+ all the way.
