Default The Chase!

Well I just woke up here in South Korea. I wanted to share a few shots from Sunday morning on the River. The Herons and Egrets were really too far away, but I got these using my 500mm lens and a 1.4 extender.. I'm sorry they are so small, this was not intended to be an eye test. Here is the Chase!

Thanks for Looking
Michael

What a fantastic series of pictures, Michael, I think you've out done yourself. I cannot separate these and would frame all four and have them across the wall, good work buddy

Thank You Angeleyes! I was so happy when I imported these to see that they came out this well. I was a long way away.

Thank You Hayward, I actually was using a Benro Monopod with a Benro gimbal mount. I should have taken my tripod and tried to get a little closer.
