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="" />

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

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. |  |  |
