An osprey I spent a day or so shooting.
that is some lovely image. let’s have more.
From the look of the “passenger” I take it you are not in the UK. Great shots. Impressed that this was with only a 300 mm lens. No data with the images. What sort of distance would you have been from the birds? In a hide?
This was in a small wildlife marsh in downtown Kelowna BC. Max dist would be 125ft. Of courses varies when they are flying. The nest tree is across a small pond from a boardwalk with 2 viewing areas. There were two birds with young in the nest but short of brief views of a head couldn't tell how many.
Excellent shots. Thanks. Ed.
Don't know where this went but try again.
Some more of what I take and I will stop.
lovely images. I hope you were a bit more than 125 foot from the bear!
No about 80 ft but he was upslope and I wasn't threatening. As a rule they don't bother with you if you don't pose a threat to them. Leaving tomorrow to shot some pics in Waterton National Park in Alberta. Hope to get mom and cubs this time. Maybe a grizzly but not likely.
Best of luck. Let us see the results.
Definitely love that first image. Powerful action by an eagle through its wings. Nice!!
There are some really nice catches in this thread

I somehow believe I'm not the only one who'd like if you don't stop
Just one of 800 or so images[
attachment=1828] I took this last 3 days. Was trying out a 2x converter which I definitely dislike. Made too many of my images fuzzy.
It’s the bear that’s fuzzy, fuzzy bear! Great shot though. haven’t seen too many of these around in Cornwall. luckily.
yes, much sharper. What was the lens and converter? Still the 300mm?
Close enough to shake paws with, great. Are you doing any post processing. Ed.
Ed not as a rule. With the converter ones I tried to sharpen them. I used the converter with a 100 - 400 zoom I was using. I am not to good with photoshop. Lots to learn.
A young cub eating. We saw lots of bears this trip. The other one is a lone male. Just had a ripping good 3 days. Shot over 700 pics.
Love the picture of the cub. Great depth of field and composition. Could, possibly, sharpen a bit, just the bear.
Nice - love to see more when you have time! Thanks for sharing with us!
Managed to get these two bull elk just as light was about to die.
Awesome! Did you get these in the same area?
