Post your best bird shots!

Thanks Denise! Yes it is my first (and Only) Pheasant in flight! I was invited to a Pheasant Hunt today and brought my Canon instead of my Remington

I was going to say, either you did a major overhaul of your backyard setup or you ventured out of the backyard. Great shots of the vulture and the pheasant. I especially am impressed with the vulture. Hard to catch them not circling.

I guess that decision resulted in another cheesburger dinner

Downy Woodpecker

5D3
500mm + 2.0 TC III (Manual focus)
f/8
ISO 2000
1/1000

No sharpening in post, Raw image converted with DPP and then finished with CS5. Not as sharp as the 1.4 TC but still pretty good, especially for an old guy like me using manual focusing

I like both the images Joel, But That Tufted Titmouse is really good.--I love the backlighting in that one.

Thanks Bob, the light is harsh here today...clear skies....but my brother was here for a visit and I had to try out his 5D MKIII

I am impressed with the fast auto-focusing and sharpness as well as how the images hold up with cropping. It is a very nice camera.

I was going ask when you got a 5DIII, but you explained before I got to it. Very sharp considering you did not sharpen.

This is the background I recently added to my webpage---I Just made a collage of various images and used PS's emboss function then darkened it a little. I left the color fringe around the frames to so there was a tiny hint of color.



I thought it was an interesting effect---what do you think?
