Hey everybody, great stuff and I need to chip in too. I've been doing quite a lot of shooting, way behind on posts. For those interested, I have moved my primary body over to a 7D from my 50D, so far...

Thanks. Yes... it was very overcast [:(]but I was so lucky to be so close for so long. These photos are only 50% cropped with my 70-200.


Side note: I have been using ACR for my raw conversions...

I had an awesome Anna's Hummingbird model for me on Saturday near sundown, great lighting for his many colors. He was perched in a bush at eye level about 6 - 8 feet away, so he was well in range of...

Same seagull from a previous post. C&amp;C welcome, thanks for viewing.

Bueller? Bueller? I sure hope this thread hasn't officially died... I was enjoying the C&amp;C. I would esspicially like feedback on the Snowy Egret, as I want to learn all I can before encountering a...

Great shots all. Tucan is my fav of the 4 and Joel your stuff is fantastic. Met up with a Snowy Egret yesterday. Couldn't pick my favorite, you try [:D].

Brendan, good pt about the the branch growing out of his head. Such a shame to lose that photo because of that, I took care of the branch in pp and re-uploaded, but in the future I'll try to handle...

Nice GBH.


I dare not say how hard it's been to get the red-wing blackbird with my setup... [:|]they're all over where I live, but are difficult to approach. Success. I found a spot where I got...

Here is the real 100% crop, the only PP was Adobe Camera Raw set to 25 on the sharpening (nothing in photoshop besides save for web). Probably could use a little unsharp mask... but this is pretty...

Thanks Brendan and John. Here was the full-size cropto prove it. Between the 70-200L IS F4's awesome glass and 15 megapixels of the 50D, was able to salvage something. And it's fair to say it has a...

Found this Anna's Hummingbird today. Awfully difficult to get this shot with my 70-200 as it was at the top of a tree (and very tiny!)... it's 100% crop [:|]... I see a new lens in my future. Well...

Shot this great egret in-flight today. Hope you like.
