Invoice: Fee for consultation $6000 ($10/mm rate). I recommend the 1200mm next at same rate.

I'm not sure of the exchange rate, but I hope you accept blurry bird photos as currency.

Alan is collecting money for all new telephotos (>400mm and not more "F" than F5.6!!!) and cameras able to shoot what you want by themself that Canon will produce in the the next few/several years -it's bargain keeping in mind the galloping inflation*
*inflation = current in the grocery stores (and not only!!!). I don't mean the "blurry photos" that we produce - that production is overwhelming the market - with that currency I think you have enough to pay regularly (same as me...)

I'm closing my eyes: I don't want to see that !

I think that rate would be considered a "tariff". Very trendy these days.

Unexpectedly, a Kestrel flew by when I had the RF 200-800mm at 1120mm for some far distant birds.

Very nice shots Alan! If you had at least little bit more light on the eyes I would say great shots! Next time (and if it comes closer to you...)!

The lighting on the bird's eye is perfect on this one.

The White-booted Racket-tail is a hummingbird found in the Andean cloud forests from Ecuador to Venezuela. I photographed this male while birding in Colombia in November, 2025.

Yep!!! Was it circling around you? What kind of camouflage did you used - Mickey Mouse?! It's really nice series Alan!

Perefect... Too perfect! I prefer the shadowed eyes because it lends a more unique character.
