Post your best bird shots!

Incredible exquisite shot. Really impressive!!! You think it is a falcon, which one? I wasn't sure so I looked it up in "Stokes Field to Birds" and I think it looks more like a Red Tailed Hawk. Hard to abe absolute becauseas you have just a frontal view.





Absolutely stunning photo. My $.02

Hello everyone! This is my first post. []And I'd like to show you one my photo, which I've taken in Garliava, Lithuania, 2010 06 15.


<span><span class="genmed"]I was coming home from the town when I saw Black redstar's family. So I fast went home to take the camera, then I ran back to the place where I had seen the birds. I was starting to think that they have gone but luckily I found them.

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 it's been awesome. Also... I've been playing around with some nice glass too []


MacMan... not sure what he\she was... awesome shots though. I would love for one to model for me as you did... I got dive-bombed last timea hawk gave me that look. Anywho, I have red-tail's around me and here are my favorite 3 captures (all within the last couple months).

Tadas that is really great; very nice timing.


Nate, that's really nice. I would have used the 400 L to get wider framing (that's the best critique I could come up with...).


James....#3 is by far the best b/c of the composition regarding the bird. Did you rent those superteles? If you buy one get the 500 f/4 and not the 300 2.8, IMHO for birds you can save $3000 and get the 300 f/4.

Nate,


Very nice picture, but imo it would have been better, when the bird wingtips sould have been in the frame too. But I understand that that is quite difficult when handholding a prime lens-camera-combo weighing something like 200 oz...


Besides that, loads of nice pictures here. I guess this is one of the most active topics currently?
