I did shoot a bird with the R today but then my card reader wouldn't work and I got sidetracked but here is a birder's lens and camera cover I made for Costa Rica in case anyone is interested, and it's shot with the R.
Can you believe it; we were booked on a 737 Calgary to Toronto but luckily today they re-booked us on an earlier flight, same day!
I used waterproof tent material and just sewed a tube for the lens and cut a hole for the Jobu handle. What to do with the camera region - it's tough so I just sewed a chunk of leather that adds a bit of weight and flops over the bottom of the 1DX2 when it's slung over my shoulder. Made a second one for the R with the 70-200 and in that case I added Velcro so it fastens together around the straps.
Probably there is something better commercially but this fits the 400 really nicelyView attachment 183492View attachment 183493
Great cover ! I think it is time to start a Kickstarter campaign. Get that baby into production ! ( I can't sew and none of my fellow birders can.)
With the light and presentation it is very similar to the quality illustrations in bird books from a century ago
Nice picture krisbell!

Today's catch. Testing R with 100-400mm lens and extender.
European Starling
Canon EOS R, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM +1.4x III, ƒ/8.0, 560 mm, 1/500 sec, ISO 500, SOOC cropped.
Well, in that case, you have a nice crop Sir! Thanks for the compliment ISv.Didn't stop here for a wile and look what happens... Many nice shots (even a movie)! I have my favorites off course: Cog's cormorants, Don's starlings, Alan's Peregrine (hey - this is by far your best shot of the Falcon on that spot! On other hand I personally prefer the stills of the Kingfisher against the movie - may be because I'm not a movie person), Jeff's Sanderling and Aaron's... well, the Raven is great!!!
And since I have nothing to place in the "portraits", I just cropped this one to look as a portrait !View attachment 183624
One of the things that keep my attention with your photographs is that despite of the amazing colours you put on them they are still real photographs (had a look at your flickr). Nowadays we often see photographers delivering paintings rather than photographs, it is not your case. Very good job.Havent posted on here in a while so here's a recent one of mine...

Thanks ISv. The kingfisher movies are animated gifs, consisting of 4 or 7 frames being flicked through. They can be downloaded and the individual frames separated. They could be posted as a set of separate shots. This is the most graphic of the set.Didn't stop here for a wile and look what happens... Many nice shots (even a movie)!
