Northern Harrier Vs. Gyrfalcon

Hi Scott,

 

stunning action photo! The composition tells the story. The animal AF works great. Since I see a focal length of 800 mm, have you shot this with the 800 mm f 11 lens? Kind regards, Vincent

Thanks Vincent. Yes this was taken with the RF 800. The lens has its time and place. If light is good then it works pretty good. Hand holding is also a benefit. It’s by no means a perfect lens but it is a good tool to have in the pack. The Gyrfalcon is not all that common to be seen in the lowermainland of British Columbia so it was pretty exciting to see one.

 

Thanks for looking.

Good catch Scott!

Bravo Scott, perfect timing for this beautiful action photo, showing the power of these birds of prey, good lighting and colors, ciao Giangiorgio
