OP said he used a telephoto lens. How long a lense did you use? I have a 170-500 but don't do well with handheld shots. I have a good tripod but takes time to set it up.

DonFischer: Not the OP, but once in a blue moon Cookie will let me pick up one of her units. I can hand hold her Canon 500 prime which is a relatively long and heavy unit. Right hand on the camera and left at the extreme end of the lens hood. She has a couple 100-400 Canon zooms that are shorter and considerably lighter. I have to find some sort of support (tree limb, rock, or sit down) to keep those stable. Admittedly, a tripod is a pain in the ass when one is wandering the sticks with a camera. If wildlife would behave like fruit baskets, we'd have an easier time.
Given the slant of this forum, I see the same effects with firearms. I have a 15 lb 45-90 Sharps that works well off hand. With a shorter/lighter 600 Rem in 6-mm I can't do crap without a rest.
Enjoy your stuff. Good luck in the coming year.

Please bear in mind that the following is from a "hack" photographer and not a pro. The two telephoto lenses I use are a Canon 70-200 and a Tamron 150-600. typically I use the Tamron 150-600 Telephoto at distance over the Canon and do not crop. I have both a Canon 7D Mk2 and a Canon 5d Mk4. In those above it was the 1.6 Crop sensor 7D Mk2 as it extends the range and I can get 10 FPS. I was riding in the elevated bench seats mounted in the bed of a pick-up. Those were unsupported or I was braced against an arm rest or bed rail,and cherry-picked as there were numerous images that were not up to par. I typically do not do post-photo processing as most of my pix are for myself, but did so in the pix above and below using "Raw Power" App. Canon 5D MK 2, Tamron 150-600 f/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens, F/10, 1/800 sec , ISO 800, 500 MM. Considering a 1.6 Crop factor that should be the equivalent of an 800 MM lens, if I understand correctly. Best, GWB

Great photos! I am a rank amateur but, I need to take my camera out and work on getting some shots.
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.

Yes. Get it out and hit the shutter. Once in a while one captures a gem.

The best chances I've had at mountain sheep I was driving and didn't have a camera ready. Colorado, Arizona, Oregon and Alaska. Best was in Alaska where the Haul Rd cross's over the summit of the Brooks Range going down to the Tundra. Driving a hwy. truck to Prudhoe Bay and no camera with me! Wised up and started carrying a camera in the vehicle and never got those opportunity's again!
