Sorry not to see anyone from the Forum at the Conservancy (not that I was aware of any way). It was almost too bright at times making it hard to control contrast and tones but I still had to use ISO 400 - 800 to get decent shutter speed - its a funny old place for photography (for me at least.)
I finally got the chance to give the 70-300 LIS a proper work out with some "Real" birds and was pretty pleased with the way it performed. I've just got back from the Camera Club so haven't had much chance to pick to many keepers but thought these two may amuse.
The first one was the result of suddenly realising that one of the Vultures in the low flying display looked to be coming straight at me, so I did the sensible thing and put the camera in the way. Its full width but cropped to a 5:1 letter box
The second was taken when they were firing "Chicken Bits" up to try for an inverted catch. I reckon the one below is shouting "Show Off" to its mate who managed the "Invert"
Probably going to be more some more as I process them - sorry in advance!
