Nate....that's a beauty and HAND HELD. Have you been going to the gym....LOL.


I know your pain, they visit a small bog pond in the spring and maintain a distance beyond the max for the 100-400.


Thanks for sharing

I know I've posted this somewhere before. This was spring of 2009. view large to see feather detail


Canon AV-1 with either 200 or 400 speed FujiFilm. An FD mount 50mm 1.8 was used. I'm not sure what the aperture or shutter speed was.


I consider myself lucky to snag a shot such as this. haha. Great photos everyone!


Itheone, I specifically like your bluebird in the backyard!

Not exactly up to the standard of the rest of the pictures here, but here is one of my favorites of a heron taking flight.


XSi, EF-S 18-55IS, F-11, 1/250, ISO 200


Any comments/criticism welcome.

Strange... my picture got cut off on the right side. Oh well, I'm new to this. I'm quite inspired by all the other postings --- very nice everyone!

Did you resize it to 800 pixels wide? I believe that is the maximum width that will post.


The part that was shown was nice though [H].

Funny, I was just thinking "nice unusual composition" on the owl pic. Oh, well... [H]

I very well could be horribly mistaken, but I think the width limit is 600px.

Perhaps you could have used a wider aperture so the bird isn't motion-blurred? iso-400 is very usable as well. Bird-in-flight photo's generally require a very fast shutter speed...
