A condor taken at Colca canyon 3000+m up in the Andy's Mountains. Took literally 100's of shots and this is the best i could muster, such a difficult subject for me.

Hi Vickie

I have stood at the rim of the Colca Canyon and done the same thing - it is unbelievably difficult - the birds are moving quicker than you think - you are panning, it is cold and the other tourists are distracting..... Well done! This is what this site is about.

really very a difficult subject but very interesting
with a f/4 5.6 (or better 2.8 but it's a pro lens !!) you could earn one or two speed rate 1/250 would be better to catch the condor with a good focus
be careful with the right wings !!
aleks
