Nice Captures Serendipidy, The Eye on this Bird is just Tack Sharp, as well as a little scary, well done.

"Scary"?    Downright spooky if you ask me.
If he does leave you sometime, do you think his parting words will be

" so long, and thanks for all the fish!" 

Cheers Brian

Hi Brian,
LOL...he will be hitchhiking his way across the galaxy

I suspect he will also say "I'll be back!"

This Guy was a Laugh, Pretty well thought nothing could see him in the Tall Grass, even though He/She was a Baby, that's a Baby Rhino, still hard to hide one behind some tall Grass. Shot this with the 400, no crop, gives some idea how close.

1Dx 400f/2.8 V2, Shot @ f/6.3 & 1/320th ISO800

Man! you are brave! Where was Mama?

Hi Guys,
Just back into Jakarta today, will go out tomorrow & shoot some trees or something, post some stuff tomorrow evening, keen to see myself how it compares to the 200f/2, 300f/2.8 V2, 400f/2.8 V2 & 600f/4 V2, I cant set side by side with the 400 as I lent it to a friend of mine in South Africa, I'll pick the 400 back up in 2 weeks when I get to Dar Es Salam on the way to Tanzania. But I can do side by side with the 200, 300 & 600.

your living the dream eml

He is, isn't he?

Look forward to your pictures

Fantastic timing! What the beep happened here that made them look back with these expressions?

Lovely picture!

Question:
What were you doing to get such a dirty look from the bird?

Not exotic but we can't all have humming birds and flamingos on our doorstep!

5D3 and 300mm f2.8 IS mk1 - f5 1/1000th ISO640 +2/3rds

Pigeon with anti-gravity belt! I like it!

Yup, seems like the birds are onto something - must've borrowed it from him:

All that is fine but remember it is my Nobel prize winning theory!

You got my vote in Stockholm

+1 more vote from Stockholm

Thanks. I promise to include you in my acceptance speech.

M with auto ISO. And now after reading all the explanations I realise why I need to do a lot of post processing...

May. Be I should go back to my AE-1 days of Tv...

Maybe you should get the 1DX

I guess one can dream!

Here is a rework of the last shot all done in Lightroom with the adjustment panel as well.

WB on plate.

I adjusted the exposure for my monitor at 100cd/m², I suspect most peoples monitors are too bright and the shirt and table will have little detail, but it is there.

A question for you. Why did you set color NR to 0 from the default of 25? Is it because you pulled blacks down to -22?

This Guy usually wears Glasses, he's been in some of my previous Posts, he just had Contacts fitted, I prefered him wearing Glasses, but I take what I can get.
