Couple recent Red Tail pictures. Kind of missed focus on one, but web sized you can't tell. Taken with 300 f4 IS and Kenko 1/4x TC.




American Kestrel, I believe. First sighting for me.

Had a visit from a Red Tailed Hawk early this morning, unfortunately it was heavily overcast and drizzling rain. Nevertheless, I had to try, so I cranked up the ISO to 6400 and sneaked around the house for a couple of hand held shots. Not the best and of course it's noisy but at such a high ISO I was surprised.

1D MKIV
AV Mode
500mm + 1.4 TC
Hand held
ISO 6400
1/640
f/5.6

@Joel

I thought you mentioned in an earlier thread you had the 1D IV temporarily. Did you end up keeping it?

Apparently it handles the wet weather as well as the hawk.

I have not been forced to return it yet


I am negotiating a price, I really like it especially the increased number of pixels compared to the 1D MKIII.
