Post your best bird shots!

Nice image Bob, looks like you're right about the image width. Also I wonder why everyone's Join Date is the same?

This is a 640p test

[Dr Croubie]

I'll try a 700-pixel-wide shot. Don't think I ever got to telling the story of my day with very bizarre cockatoos' behaviour, now that I think of it...

edit, wow, that didn't work. Try with another.

[Dr Croubie]

Nope, 700-wide makes it weird. I'll do another size (you can see all the sizes in my image filenames, makes it easier for me to organise them).

500 wide:


Hmmm, is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I'm uploading them all, not external-hosting (maybe that's a hint that I need to get myself a smugmug?)

Great Egret test upload

Sweet photo, Joel!

With nothing but time on my hands, I'm still going through photos from the last few months or so! Glad to see there is no time limit on this thread!


Hey, good lookin'! by Denise Trocio, on Flickr

[Joel Eade]

Wow Denise! Is that a Whooping crane? The pose and reflection are killer.

Another recent image getting accustomed to the 500 f/4 hand holding, this time with the 1.4 TC

[Joel Eade]

Shot this in the yard this morning using the 1D3 + 500mm f/4 + 1.4 TC using a tripod and Wimberly gimbal head

PS : I've noticed by using the "manage attachments" icon you can submit much larger images.

Joel, Nice shots, how are you liking the 500?
