Post your best current shots

[Busted Knuckles]

I never fail to get blown away by the performance of the new 500 f/4. Here is a young white-tailed buck, shot from my car window this morning. I set the camera to 1/500 sec @ f/4 in manual, and the Auto-ISO then chose 1250 for the correct exposure.

At least you didn't have the leave the warmth of your car.... I went to your website some very beautiful pics. Really stunning stuff.

I am looking forward (not really) to taking winter (I am from Florida and its too - fill in colorful adjective - cold...) pics now that I am working out of Long Island and will be able to drive up to the catskills, etc.

Thanks very much! I should add that when shooting from the car in the winter, it is actually important to open all the windows and shut off the heater. If you don't, then all the warmth radiating from your window will affect the image sharpness. It is like shooting through the heat refraction from a hot road surface... it muddles the background a lot, and reduces the subject sharpness. I have noticed that problem occur in images where I had 'panic stop' situations for wildlife, and only had time to open my window and fire a quick burst. It took me a while to realize what was happening. So now I make sure to open everything wide and get the inside of the car as cold as I can, as fast as I can, whenever I have the time.
