Moon shot @600/6.3/50D....fairly low in the sky and picking up some air turbulence:

Nice shot

Snowy owl. 60mm and f8 handheld.... and yes, the lens does work at -20C.....

EDIT: 600mm, not 60

The real question is, why are you working at -20C? ;D

The real question is, why are you working at -20C? ;D

And how at 60mm? Does the lens thermally contract?

I was working at -20C because I waited for it to warm up outside The day started at -28C

And how at 60mm? Does the lens thermally contract?

it's 600mm..... I don't type well when my fingers are warming up.....

This is unsharpened. I am quite satisfied with this lense and its IQ. 7D II was not able to identify the lens correctly. Lens fully open.No shrpening.

Recently noticed the zoom lock switch on the 150-600 can also be activated at 400mm. Hmmm...

Bald eagles wintering at a nearby reservoir started visiting a pond in a town park suffering from fish kill after a recent snow and hard freeze. Temps back in the 60s has the pond icing off and the eagles are feasting on the fish as they thaw. Caught this eagle making its approach and getaway.

Very nice shots, Don. I especially like the owl.

Thanks!

The owl is hanging around the bird feeders. The small birds spill sunflower seeds onto the ground, squirrels come to eat the spilled seeds, and the owl gets the squirrels. I haven't been able to get a picture of the capture yet, but I hope to....

That is a double bonus: gaining an owl and losing a squirrel!

Funny that reminds me a couple of year ago the birds were going berserk in the back yard. I looked out the window only to see a red tailed hawk swoop down and get a bird. After he left. A squirrel came from somewhere and stuffed him self with sun flower seeds.

I have been trying to get a picture of that hawk off and on for two years.

Because someone mentioned squirrel. Also included are a few other shots with the Tamron SP 150-600mm.

That squirrel is a little bit greedy, isn't he?! ;D
Great photos

The real question is where did he get that pecan. As far as I know the nearest pecan tree is in the back yard of the house across the street. He had been carrying it for a while.

Always enjoy the good humor along with the good shots and don't miss the bickering of other threads!

Shot this last night, used servo af which I don't normally use. Was very disappointed, had a lot of trouble with changing from near to far objects. Going to stick with one shot from now on.

I still like and use this lens a lot. This is a 100% crop taken today with the 70d. There are no doubt some combos that are better but it is still really good. I can't think of anything that gives more reach bang for the buck. Maybe the sx50?
