I've been doing a lot of photography, for the last several months, especially, ever since I got my new 400mm lens.

These first couple, I just took today.

3rd year, juvenile Bald Eagle

Caught one !

Hope you enjoy them,

Chris,

I always look forward to seeing your pics when you post them, and I wasn't disappointed!  Great stuff!!

Wow, these are some great pics!  Thanks for sharing.

What is the F-Stop?

Awesome photos Chris!

Questions though.  Bodega Bay? - Bird Photos?

Did you happen to run into a Tippi Hedren look alike?

These are great photos

Great photos, I especially like the last one.  The action of the water is mega cool! 8-)

Nice Chris. Which 400 did you get? BIF are always fun to shoot. Probably my favorite thing to shoot.

Great pics Fish! I love love love birds of prey. Some of the colors are amazing. Thanks for the pics.

Just found my new desktop background......Great pictures Chris

Much thanks guys

Hey nine miler, my lens is a 400mm F5.6, but I ususally shoot anywhere from F5.6 to F8.

Lund E, Tippi Hedron ?

Soccplayer, I have the F5.6 (the poor mans birding lens... only $1200) Wish I could afford the F4 ($6000) or the the F2.8 ($8500) .....but then again, even if I could, those lenses area PITA to lug around.

Peace,

Fish

Hey nine miler, my lens is a 400mm F5.6, but I usually shoot anywhere from F5.6 to F8.

Most guys will simply shoot these fast, long primes wide open, with no regard for depth of field.  Your pictures clearly show intelligent aperture settings.  The sharpness of the images is nice and tight, too.  Its the difference between good gear taking the shot, and a good photographer making a beautiful picture.

Very nice stuff!

Great pictures. Thank you for sharing them.

I agree. For BIF I shoot f/8 -/11. Francho, you have a 400 too correct? It's probably my favorite lens although at times I wish it was a little faster and perhaps a little longer.

A picture is truly worth a thousand words !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, collecting dust....bought it for baseball, but found I really couldn't enjoy watching my son play from behind the lens. I use my 17-40, 100 Macro, and 10-22 more than all the others combined.

And BTW, Tippi Hedron is a Hitchcock reference, LMAO....had to look her name up.

these are awesome 

but i think i might like the pics of your bass a lil better 

Yeah Chris, Francho figured it out.

It was a reference to an old Alfred Hitchcock movie, The Birds! It took place ina small seaside community of the same name.

Some of us old dogs just can't forget a blonde. Any Blonde! ;D

  Great pic's man I wish I could shoot half that good.

  The movie "The Birds" just scared the crap out of us as kids. It was creepy but an excellent movie.

WOW!!!!

Beautiful pics!!

My daughter is really into taking pictures. She will be floored when she sees these!!

Thanks for sharing!

Those are truly great pictures.  You have talent my friend.  nicely done.

WOW!  Very impressive.  That last one is my newest desktop.

Thanks again guys

Oh, and BTW, "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock, was actually filmed in Bodega Bay, CA. And I can totally see why ! I shot there all Winter long. In fact, the Bufflehead shots I posted for this thread, were taken there

Peace,

Fish

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing!
