Hi Spandau.
Wow, great timing, nice shot.

Cheers, Graham.

Mute swan from 5dIV, 560mm, f/5.6, iso1600 and 1/4000s. I am usually too conservative with iso, and 1600 is adventurous for me - I must use it more for BIF as speed is crucial.

Nice shot!
I like the separation, makes it pop vividly.

Good shot,Alan.

With the 5DIV I think you will be pleasantly surprised at at 3200 or even 6400.

Nice shot, Alan.

Hi Alan.
Really nice shot, so graceful in flight, so elegant on the water and so bloody ungainly on land!
Angela left me for an hour at the town quay Sunday whilst she went shopping and I spent it photographing the ducks and swans.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks guys! I take quite a few of flying swans, but you were right - the dark background makes all the difference, showing up the subtle white and it appears to be coming from somewhere so it it's the first one I have kept.

Mom and junior decided to visit the tree next to me. When junior decided getting closer to mom might help with the food begging, mom took off for another tree. You can see mom's feathers are a bit tattered after raising a pair of fledglings.

Lovely shot! What did you shoot it with? What were the settings?

Hi Ed.
Excellent timing, very nice shot. It looks like juniors Learner plate has fallen off, definitely a novice flyer!

Cheers, Graham.

Fantastic shot, ERHP.

Thanks everyone! Thought I had put the EXIF under the image but apparently not. This was roughly 90% of the original image as the female had been facing left but turned and when she took off from the branch, it bounced up causing junior some difficulty on the landing. I happened to get lucky she stayed mostly on plane during the take off.

Happy Independence Day!

Here are some adult and immature Bald Eagle shots from earlier this year. I couldn't get a clear shot of the adult as he approached, as there was a bridge between us. Had to wait until he cleared it and then he flew right overhead.

All shots with the 5D III, 400mm DO II and 1.4x TC III.

Taken last week at Nickerson Beach in NY with my 7DM2 and 100-400 II. I couldn't decide whether I liked the color or the BW version better and decided to stick with the BW.
