This was taken with fujifilm ISO 200, anyone have some film shots they would like to share?

I hope I'm not anoying anybody, but nobody has film bird shot? I would love to see what others have done with film.
John.
Thanks to John (Fast Glass) for the encouragement to post this shot here in this thread.

Wes,
What lens (combo?) did you use for this shot?
Sorry should have put that in the original post. 300 F/4 + 1.4 TC. Also this is a full frame shot.
While I am waiting for someone to post a film bird picture, I will have to entertain myself with this one.[:D]
[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.28.86/60750004-reduced.JPG[/img]
This was taken with my Rebel k2, Minolta 600mm f/6.3, fujifilm ISO 200 speed film.
Hope you all like it,
John.
Rule #1 not to break - always bring the better camera with you. During a trip to visit family in the north I took the children sled riding (a first for them) and brought my wife's A470. I'll title this picture "High Hopes", as in I hope that my photography skills improve greatly during 2010.
Have a great New Year.

Awesome thread! Here's one of my favorites:

Also, just for completeness, here's every bird I've ever seen in my entire life: :)

Thank you for the nice words, Oren. I've modified the post with a larger version of the first photo; the second one's too wide and gets cropped off, so I'll leave it as-is for now.
Beautiful pictures Aaron, can you post larger versions?
Welcome to the forums by the way [;)]
Also, please remember to post technical specs on your shots. We newbies can use them to better our own techniques, you know!

Wow, Nate! Another incredible shot. Absolutely fantastic.
This is awesome, Nate! What I wouldn't give to have something like this to photograph in Wisconsin!
Wow... just wow

Yes sir.
Here's a few shots of mine from last weekend. The pictures are linked from Facebook, so the quality is pretty bad. But oh well, this is the quickest way for me to post.
P.S. you guys are GOOD!

It's far more exotic than the house sparrows in my garden (in Ireland). A different species where you're based?
It should be the same species, I'm in Washington state. Mabye the very saturated colors make it more exotic looking.
John.
Nice pictures everyone!
I'm not really a birdsman[;)], but anyway here are my posts, comments are welcome (be honest, I learn from mistakes [:P]):

Nate,
Nate....really man, you're pictures are the best! [Y]
nate, you should be excluded and banned from the TDP forum because your pictures are too good. (hehe) It makes us beginners jealous [:P]
What I mean is, great shot, again. [H]

Canon 7D,300mm 2.8 with 1.4 TC, 1/2000,f4.0,ISO 250, tripod,auto focus.
those eagles didn't fly away even I got as close I could to them, so this was a easy shot.
BTW, does anybody know if there is a easy way to know what name of the birds you captured
? thanks
Nate, as Fast Glass said I've never thought you could improve from your already-perfect shots, but once again I'm amazed!
How many hours in a week do you spend on getting these shots by the way?
Good day all, I am not sure which one best so I just post all :P check it out !
