Title: Stoney Creek Hawk Owl Today
Post by: RobMcKay on March 02, 2008, 07:51:27 PM

Dull and overcast, not the best for photography, but what the heck!
The owl is still there :)
A few shots from the outing today, the rest of the report and more pics here,

While I always appreciate all photos posted and not being a bird photographer myself, it was awesome to see these shots of the NHO in action. Thanks... well done.

Excellent shots, Rob. Exactly the kind I would like to take. I've observed many posts regarding technical equipment and, after seeing your stunning photos, may I ask what camera and lens you use?

Thanks,
I used an old Nikon D1H ( http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1h/ (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1h/) ) and a new Nikon 300mm f/4 for this set.
Thanks again,
Rob

Good to see someone else using the older DSLR's to good advantage. There's lots of good used pro-level bodies around (under $1000_  for those interested in capturing flight shots.
