You may have replaced the 1D4 - but these show that it was a very capable camera in your hands!
Nice pict's! (Not a bird to argue with btw...)

Thanks guys. Wiebe, I loved the 1D4 and would not have replaced it except that the higher ISO shots were not great if cropped. ISO 640 was fine, 800 not bad but above that I was comparing to the 6D and it wasn't good. Bought used and sold without loss as a stop gap while waiting for the 1DX2.
Now, if I can just get back to Haida Gwaii in the near future to get better shots!
One more.

Great eagle shots Jack !
I am still stuck with the 1D4 for now and you are right about the noise past 800iso. I can get usable shots up to iso 3200 if i expose way to the right but it takes a considerable amount of post processing to clean them up. On day i will be able to upgrade but untill then I will just hope for good light lol
this is from a couple of weeks ago, in good light ;D
1D4 400f5.6L
1/2500 , f5.6 , iso 320

guys, no need for complements, but thanks as always. I'll post a few more of the better ones. I had shot so few BIF before this that I certainly missed out on many opportunities but still came home happy with good shots becoming more numerous on my last day at the bay. The eagles in the 1DX thread had gotten me all fired up and was responsible for my choice of destination.
BTW, it was very difficult in the bright H G sun to get both shadows and whites and I have quite few cases of blown highlights.
Stuart I'd gladly trade.

Riley, one came swooping over my head not more than a few of feet above, I could feel the air. This wouldn't normally happen but a pair of Haida were cleaning their salmon not many yards in front of me and the eagles wanted the heads that were tossed in the puddles since the tide was out.
One more.

Well, same praise to you Stuart - your snowy owl is beautiful (even with "only" a 1D4
).Perfectly exposed in those conditions, the owl perfectly sharp where it even seems to be turning in flight (looking in a different direction from its flight path...).
I love the beautiful functionality of Owls in general and yours is a very fine example.

Hi Jack,
I think you will be hard pressed to improve your eagle shots in case you visit H G again (now w.1DX2). With the bright light conditions you may not have had the ISO issue, but all else is hard to beat in your 1D4 eagles.
Excellent set!
Wiebe.
