Gone to See Patagonia 2015 Photography Tour with Thom Hogan. Day 4: Hosteria Helsingfors.

Wet Crested Caracara at Hosteria Helsingfors in Patagonia (southern Argentina). The bird was sitting outside the kitchen window in the rain (begging for bacon). Images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 55-200 mm lens (ISO 800, 200 mm, f/4.8, 1/30 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.

I think I am going to like this lens. The images were taken hand-held with the optical image stabilization (OIS) on at 1/30 sec.
