Great shot once again Nate. Hey BTW, are you going to upgrade yourcamera body? I wouldimagine the 7D would be the obvious choice.


Here isanother one.

Hey John,


Nice image of the geese, I like the colors and the low anglebecause it gives you the oof bg and fg. I would crop out the dark part on top of the frame.


Regarding camera upgrade,I've been so tempted to upgrade to the 7D since its introduction. The reason that kept me from getting it was I wanted to read all the reviews, now that I've read all the reaviews, Ijust want to wait for a price drop[]. Based on all the reviews, I think the 7D is an excellent piece of equipment and it's going to be a big upgrade to my 40D. However, a better and newly introducedcamera does not make the existing camera work any differently, so I'm just holding on to my 40D for now.

I *wish* I lived in Hawaii.


You mean this bird? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-crowned_Night_Heron


Seems like its range is pretty diverse.... Bear in mind I know almost nothing about birds. Never even had an interest in them until I got hooked on hummingbird photography. Come to think of it, maybe I would enjoy Costa Rica more than Hawaii. Below, a mix of the old and the new. First three are Anna's hummingbirds (Calypte anna), last one is a broad-billed hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris):
