Week #3 - Woodpecker
by Dale R. Palmer

Red Bellied

I've been watching them flitter between trees for several weeks if not a couple of months. Today this one finally let me photograph him while he and I were eating lunch in the woods. I used the 300mm F4 lens with a 1.4TC for 420mm ... and with a 1.6 crop factor put it at 672mm equivalent and it still required a fair amount of cropping. Fortunately the lens and TC combo has really nice image quality.

Canon EOS Rebel T5i ,Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM
1/320s f/8.0 at 420.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Well worth the several week photo chase. This turned out well with your 300mm Prime Lens & your 80D. Look at that long beak!!!

Oh, he's a real beauty! Great job on the shot, Dale. And what a thrill to have gotten the shot.
