Thanks Ralph. These were shot with the Sony 300GM f2.8 with the 2x extender, all shot at 1/3200s and f/5.6

Stunning series Jose…. You’ve really captured the essence and character of this small raptor!

That 300 GM is an incredible lens.

That 300 GM is an incredible lens.

Yeah I'm pretty happy with it, I shoot it almost exclusively with the 2X extender and the output is excellent, more importantly it's super lightweight, allowing me to carry it pretty much all day without much of a problem.

Thank you Larry, Irap, Louie and Woody, much appreciated.
