Ed,
I visited your Elk hole along with watching the BAs from Mt. Tam.
He was only a bit horny along with his buds from that side of the fence, on the other side of the road they had all the horns. The girls were closer to the beach.

Merge of two pics I took the night of the eclipse.

Ha! I have seen that poor fellow a few times. He must have lost a fight or something. Great golden hour light on him here!

Awesome work Mark. Just in time for Halloween, it conveys a great spooky night vibe.

Weebl · 10-12-2015, 09:22 PM

There were ~6 all missing one horn. This one would almost cross his back legs as if he was wounded. I think they might keep the losers together.

Very nice!

Itsed65 · 10-13-2015, 07:40 PM

I was "this" close to getting the whole bird in the frame, LoL. Still if you can get close, the new version of the 100-400 is a great lens.

Great shots, DC and Ed.

I went cinematic with this composite.

Ed's great "raptor launch" shot reminded me of my favorite of mine from earlier this year:

Great action pose and timing.

If you don't mind a suggestion, or two, next time raise the ISO and shutter speed to stop action. Also, be aware of the direction of sun and try to get her face out of shadows. You could also start shooting in Raw and use a Raw conversion program, like Lightroom, to raise the shadows on her face.

We've all been where you are, so I hope you'll not be offended.

Always will take pointers. Got the wife a Nikon D7000 however I sometimes take it for some pics and have gotten some great shots but she does much better than me though...

That's a great camera. When shooting sports, put it in Shutter Priority mode at 1/1000-sec. and ISO at 800 in good light, like you had and ISO 1600 if it's overcast.

Itsed65 · 10-15-2015, 08:43 PM

I spent about an hour eating lunch and watching these hawks hover into the wind over the ocean then go diving into a canyon at full speed, only to turn around and do it again. Sure looked fun to me.
