Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR 2 Owls Review
Well, this new Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR lens of mine is amazing, the detail, tracking and super fast focusing is a dream come true! My first test/play with the 300mm VR was in total overcast, very dull light and a fast moving object. These photos are in good light, and still a fast moving object. The VR works great, especially when panning a bird in flight.
Snowy Owls Flight Photos
The last set of the snowy owls in flight, Moving on to other birds and beasts but I hope you enjoyed this series of the snowy owl in flight from Alberta Canada
Alberta Snowy Owls
Photographing in-flight Alberta snowy owls in crappy light is still lots of fun, especially when they get good and close to the photographer!
The crappy light was due to a chinook arch, it was warm but very dull for in flight snowy owl photos.
September Wood Ducks In-Flight Alberta
This evening I found a bunch of wood ducks getting ready for their evening flight. I photographed immature male wood ducks, adult male and females taking flight. Here are just a few.
Eastern Kingbird Out West
These in-flight photos of the eastern kingbird are from May 23rd, we watched and photographed the kingbird catching bugs over a local pond. It was great to see these birds back from their winter migration. A few photos from that photo session are below.
In Flight Drake Wood Ducks
I know what you are thinking, more wood ducks and again with the flying wood ducks! I can’t help myself, I did it again and have a bunch of wood duck photos, but still not quite enough!
Birds & Beasts
No, that beast on the left looking over the branches is not a samsquanch, a.k.a. bigfoot or sasquatch, it is the tree eating porcupine, in this case a very cute baby porcupine!
Hooded Merganser In-Flight
Another evening with crappy light, total cloud cover but I went out (again) anyway but this time I got lucky, was at the right location at the right time when a male hooded merganser decided to take flight!
Male & Female Goldeneye Ducks
Lots of these goldeneye ducks around this spring and right now they are partnering up. Here are few very recent photos of both the male and female goldeneye in flight.
