Kamakura 1 of 2

I was initially confused Chip

Is this a Raven (or other Corvid family)
And the location is Kamakura?

[Chip Chipowski]

Colin - you and me both!  To my eyes, the Japanese crows I encountered look different than the ones I see in the States.  Larger and more curved beak and different head shape.  I thought they were ravens when I first saw them.  Location Kamakura - coastal Japan south from Tokyo.

It's a lovely shot of the heron Lars

Many thanks, Colin - yes, I've added some flexible longer focal length to my camera and can now get closer without getting too close

Good going
I envy you your 600mm f5.6 Arturo
But not having to hand hold it!
Pretty good results given this!

Thanks Colin, this is photographic hunting. Sometimes my wife takes photos of me to remember the moment; these were taken with the Nikon D70.

.... 600mm f5.6

..this is photographic hunting.

Actually the weight of this is almost secondary to having to manually focus a 600mm lens to capture a Bird in Flight.
I'm guessing the D70 may not have as good a screen for MF as some of the film predecessors too!
Much respect
