As the crow flies

Telephoto shot of a gliding corvid.
Great catch! How heavy is that 600 mm? Did you hand-hold it?

What a great capture. Love the sleekness of this.

Thank you so much for the following and am glad your back.

@mccarth1 Hi Kerry. Many thanks for the feedback on my photos. I shot the crow pics with a Sigma 150-600 'Contemporary' lens (see here for Adorama in the US: https://www.adorama.com/sg150600cnka.html )
It's heavy but just about handholdable. It has image stabilisation, which is a great bonus. Nevertheless, I'm shooting at a high ISO and high shutter speed on a crop sensor DSLR. I've recently come across Topaz noise reduction s/ware, which has been a game changer for me in post.

@joysabin Hi Joy and thanks for the welcome back. It's been a few years. I've been meaning, for a long time, to come back but stuff kept getting in the way. Are you still using Lensbabies? I've got a box full of them but rarely fish them out. I really ought to take them for a spin.

Nice details. So hard to get good details on a black bird.
