Re: Red Kite, coming in low and fast
They don't come much better than that. The 7D is really working well for you and I am envious you can fill the frame with a 200mm. I use a 500mm and often need to throw on the 1.4x to get anything sensible with wild Red Kites.
Well done.

Re: Red Kite, coming in low and fast
Thanks Colin, it was a bit of a gamble using the 200mm, but they were flying quite low, I left the 1.4TC off to gain a bit extra a/f speed and tracking hoping they would come in close enough-thankfully this one did, the 7D has excellent a/f and tracking in good light, so it helped to nail this shot.Originally posted by colin C View PostConcentrate on equipment and you'll take technically good photographs.

Re: Red Kite, coming in low and fast
Les,
An absolute "cracker."
I live in The Chilterns and see Red Kites by the dozen every day and see them diving for food but to get a shot like this so close to the ground and at the speed they are travelling magic. The sharpness/detail is brilliant.
A great shot, well done.
