Chasing Moose; Nikon 70-200mm F4 and 1.4x

June 30, 2013 • Blog, Photo Shoots

I’m on an assignment right now in Alaska shooting a variety of subjects, from hikers to  jet boats to appetizers to moose…yes, that’s right, moose.  My job this morning was to go out and find a moose and calf so my client could use the image in a marketing brochure.  Now finding a moose in Alaska isn’t too hard if they don’t have to be close and have a calf in tow.  But a find a cow/calf close to the road and get a good image was making my morning interesting.  I didn’t  bring big glass with me, but instead brought my 70-200m F4 Nikon and a 1.4x converter.  This combination would give me a little longer reach with my lens.  Many readers have asked if this combo of glass looks sharp and autofocuses well.  I can report the answer is yes.

My moose quest ended with some luck.  Having lived in a Alaska many years, I knew a couple of marsh areas off some rural roads that generally had a moose or two in them.  I was hoping to find a moose in a suburban setting.  Rounding a corner I ran right into a cow and calf moose crossing the street.  Sometimes you just get lucky.  Shot with a D4, 70-200mm with 1.4x.
