One of those days...

Uploaded: December 08, 2006

Description

Hi Guys,

Had a lot of work to do today, so no time to go out and shoot something. Also it was raining like crazy all day, but......
Then the mailman was at the door with my latest toy.....yesssss.....the 500mm F4.5.., and I just had to test it......
So between the rainstorms I managed to take the car, and drive to a place near my home that I like to call "Kestrel-Alley" as there are a dozen kestrels in a small area.

Here's one of the first I shot in a series today with the 500mm + 1.4 TC.
She's a little wet from all that rain, but a beauty non the less..

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel
