Great image Ron, and as you say, a shame that this fine animal has been 'clapped in irons'. Good job!

Sad but true, unfortunately, Ron. However it is a magnificent 'capture' and photograph, as only one with your talent can produce. Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, Allan

This is so sharp, so clean! Amazing that you handheld at 1/50 with this power. What a regal and majestic bird! Beautiful work, Ron bill

Thank you everyone! My wife and I spent the day at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle yesterday. Too crowded for the tripod so the IS really saved me. I think the Eagles were my favorite. It was sad to see this noble animal in captivity but I was glad to have the opportunity to get so close. Supposedly, he will be released back into the wild after rehabilitation. Although, it did make me think of the current world situation.

Stunning photography Ron. I would dearly love to see one of these magnificent birds for real. Such a shame this noble bird is manacled, but unfortunately we all are to one degree or another. By chance I came close(about 15') to one of our native New Zealand Hawks yesterday feeding on a dead animal and you guessed it missed the shot but who cares, it was just beautiful to see.

Great shot, Ron!! It is sad to see such a regal animal in leg chains. You really captured that feeling here. All I can say is Wow!! How do you like the 70-200 IS lens? I was thinking of investing in the 100-400 IS lens, so was wondering how you liked yours. Have you tried it for action? I was wondering how fast it is for auto focusing?

Hi Beverly. Thank you for the comment on my image! As far as the lens goes.... I love it. I use it all the time. I chose this over the 100-400 only because I felt it was a little more versatile being f/2.8 and with the 2X TC, you end up at 400 f/5.6 anyway. I have heard that the 100-400 is a little sharper at 400mm than my combo, but I am so happy with the results, I can't imagine a sharper lens. I just got home from shooting a HS soccer game and I used the lens alone and with the 2X TC. Even at dusk, the focus is fast and accurate and the IS is really amazing. I am constantly getting sharp images at 400mm, 1/30sec, hand held. Another benefit of this focal length is that it make an incredible portrait lens! Let me know if you have any other questions about it.
