Redtail hawk over Rabbit

[buzzsaw]

Thanks guys. I knew you'd understand.

All of those shots are pretty darn sweet. I been racking my brain and can only think of 3 ways to get that close to a redtail. You were extremely lucky, or baited with rabbit and sat in a blind, or new someone in the falconry business. Either way, awesome shots.

I totally understand. Now I'm going to go in my bags of tricks and see what I can come up with. Just wanted everyone know that I just ordered the 1.4 extender. I can't wait! Those are extremely sharp pictures. Awesome pics!

Not baited, however not against that whatsoever. Not lucky, as chance favors a prepared mind. I use a blind often and that can help alot. Hows that for ya.

P.S. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the images.

I vote for number 3. Do I win a prize?

No prizes offered, just go out and get some good pics so I can learn from you.

XT has gotten quite a number of good pics, buzz. We're all learning from each other, I hope.

I know Steve, don't misunderstand my words.

It just could have been taken a couple different ways. That's cool, man.

Nothin' but love for fellow photog guys and gals.

Dang.... sweet images. Nice 'in lens' composing.

Talk about tack sharp.

Looks like the low shooting angle really compliments the images. Sometime you just have to get loooooooow.
