wildlightphoto Posted November 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Each fall I keep trying to make the ultimate photo of a Wild Turkey. I don't think this is quite "it" but I'm pretty happy with the photo: Technical stuff: Leica R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO, shoulder stock & monopod, knee pads. All comments welcome.

wildlightphoto Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted November 23, 2009 You got the 280 fixed? Not yet. I'll have to get desperate before I part with it for more than 10 minutes (I take quick showers). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted November 23, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 23, 2009 John - Excellent as always, and somewhat unusual to see it perched on a branch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Jackson Posted November 23, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 23, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well Done! Hard to get those big guys to stay still long enough to get a picture. Excellent composition and color. Great shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carylwithay Posted November 29, 2009 Share #11 Posted November 29, 2009 Nice shot. I chase wild turkeys also. The ones I have seen have much darker coloration. I once got one with his tail feathers open. What fun. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildlightphoto Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks all for your comments. I realized yesterday that denial is no longer effective and I want to have this lens 100% functional before spring migration so I'm sending it out tomorrow to have the aperture blades de-gunked.
