I was on my daily walk around Capitol Lake and saw this hawk flying over. I got my camera out, glad that I had a zoom lens on. I don’t usually carry an extra lens with me on these walks. I shot whatever I see with whatever lens I have on. It is good practice in keeping your picture eye flexible for seeing in different ways.
Of course, by the time I got the camera ready (lens cap off, etc.), the hawk had moved off. It was still close enough that I continued to watch it, just for the joy of birding. I was really pleased when it turned and made a second pass. As it was directly overhead, I took this photo.
I didn’t do any masking… that is just the high overcast we had that day.
Camera: Nikon D810 Lens: Nikon 28-300mm at 300mm ISO 100 1/500th sec f/11
