    Sping’s around the corner up here, which means if not this, then next weekend I’ll be changing gears and focusing on Turkey and Pre openers steelheading through to May. So thought Id post one of my favorites from this winters owling season.

    If that shot is an indication of things to come . . . I can’t wait for spring to see your follow up photographs John.

    John, photos like that are the single reason that I got a digital SLR, however I think I need to get some better glass than the canon 70-300 i currently have, I am just having a heck of a time getting the sharpness I want.

    Colin the 70-300 is capable. All lenses have their limits, just with some the limits are fewer. The “lack” of sharpness can be any number of things from optics, to camera settings, cropping if you are, to practise in software editting.

    That said with wildlife and simliar you do want to think about getting a lens thats designed for it. The 70-300 is sort of an all purpose lens designed for mass consumption. Its a good place to start and get your feet wet, but people who really want to do some wildlife stuff will upgrade from. There are all kinds of options for almost every budget.
