Thanks mate

Got himself some food. 1DXii, 400DO, iso 800, f4, 1/2500s

The cranes have already started migrating north, Jack.

Unfortunately I'm kind of in a flight path but it'll be about 500 feet in the air, easily heard but not easy to shoot.

Great capture!!

Couple of egret shots, both taken today.

Nice shots kodakrome!

Well, today I've tried to get my two 600EX-RT's set up for some fill but this shot was yesterday. Not great but better than I've been getting lately.

Hi Jack.
Wow, birds with colour that aren't a woodpecker in your neck of the woods. Spring?
You cannot deny that is a great action shot even if you think the light is poor!

Cheers, Graham.

With all your focus problems Jack, if you want, I can take that 400 off your hands, so you don't have so much to worry about.

Thanks Graham. The redpolls are a winter bird that travels in small flocks and likes to eat seed of the ground, but spring birds are arriving now.

Ethanz, I'm not down on the lens. Jury is still out on the camera although I seem to have some consistency of late with my AFMA.

Nice shot, Jack.
Clone out the twig on the right and add a bit of clarity (I also find the dehaze in LR can work wonders) and it will being it up a level.

Thanks, easy to do, I'll try when I have some spare time. One day of playing with fill flash X2 and I'm once again reminded that back lighting certainly provides challenges that need to be addressed. Any way of getting more than one shot with hss from the 1DX2 with 600EX-RT's?

Nice. Those guys are pretty challenging to capture much detail especially if the lighting isn't ideal.

Wow! Now that's a great catch!

So did the fish fall in the water and live to tell the tale? Or did it fall on land?

it fell in

Sitting on the rocks in the mud along the river here in San Diego and one of the nesting pair of Osprey's touched down for a little talon cleaning session. Pretty sure this is the male from last year based on the placement of a spot in the eye but in any event I was very happy he decided to take off mostly towards the setting sun.

Great shot ERHP. The sun really makes a difference! Its too bad we don't see much of it in Illinois in winter...
