Hawk shots jasonvaritekfan June 8 2009, 20:14:58 UTC

WOW! The first shot of the hawk is awesome! Both hawk shots are great, but I like how the hawk has its wings in the first shot.

The hawk shots are almost as good as your 'Tek shots... almost ;-)

Thanks much! I have no idea how I got that first shot... though it can actually be harder to get Tek without his mask on than to get the hawk!

And shamefully belated thanks for your good thoughts for my mom. She's doing a lot better, I'm glad to say.

Or get a shot of 'Tek smiling ;-)

Good to hear the good news about your mom.

"Pleasantly puzzled" LOL.

The hawk shots are indeed astounding.

The camera is a marvel of technology at moments like that! I think I've finally reached the point where it feels like an extension of both my hands and eyes.

These are great--I've missed your photo updates here! And wow, the second- and third- to-last shots are great (both crops of the Tek picture).

Thanks! A lot went right with that--the ball in focus and at a spot where it stood out well, Tek reaching, and all the fielders looking in... if I could only have had the baserunner.

Belated happy birthday, BTW! What did you get for lenses?

Really! The ball is so sharp it looks like there's no way it's traveling 90 MPH.

Thanks! I got the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 (already taken some of my softball team and it does well for action shots!) and 28-70mm f/2.8-4. Those, plus the 50mm f/1.8, are going to serve me very well, I think.

JULY?! Arrrgh...! We'll have to come up with something before then, even if it involves a bar and a televised game! ;)
