Turkey Vulture
Cathartes aura
Sacramento, CA (American River)
Saw this beast while scouting another site for birding, I parked my CR-V on the side of the small road (inside a regional park), and leaned on it and started shooting. The lack of experience showed, as I didn't turned the engine off. Bummer!
I thought I got at least one that'll be a keeper, but when I downloaded the images into the computer, I was really disappointed.
If only my 300/4 has VR (that's IS for Canon users, or OS with Sigma). it might have saved the day. Anyway, this is the most decent I can process.
Nikon D300, AF-S 300 f/4 with TC 1.4 (420mm), 1/1250s, F/8, ISO 800, handheld, raw capture, cropped approx 33%, slight adjustments in CaptureNX and CS2.
Comments are welcome.
