revup67,

I am not a birder, but last week I happened to watch the movie "The Big Year". It was, and still is, playing on TV's HBOS 23-28 Dec. I stumbled upon it while trying to find something to watch, otherwise I wouldn't have sought it out. I really enjoyed it. Gave me a whole new perspective on people who are dedicated birding hobbyists.

Pacific Heron (aka White Necked Heron) taken on the outskirts of Melbourne (Aust). It's a fairly shy bird and I was using a 300mm f4. A 600mm would have been really nice. Santa.....?! :)

There are quite a few at the Animal Kingdom park at Disney World and the Animal Kingdom Lodge savannas. They are beautiful.

Thanks. I prefer to photograph wildlife in their natural environment. Sometimes that's not possible so the zoo or any other place works fine for me.

While I've been reading for a while now this is my fist post. Thought this pic taken in my fathers back yard turned out really cool. Taken with a 7D and 100-400 @ 400mm.

Cheers David

Wow! Lots of really beautiful work here. I figured I'd submit one of my favorite bird photos.

Bird in Question:
Cinnamon Teal

Shot with:
Canon 7D, Canon 100-400mm lens @400mm, ISO 125, f7.1 (according to EXIF data, I don't really recall)

This is one of the Bald Eagles living near the Llano River in Texas. I took this yesterday on a gray day.

Nice Lloyd! Which case number were you set at for your AF on this one?

Ken, this was a manual focus shot with my 5DIII using an old Canon 800mm fd L lens with the Ed Mika adaptor. I focused in live view with a Zacuto Z-finder. It is a crop of the following photo:

I've got to tell you Lloyd, I like that image too... maybe just a slight crop going in from the bottom right, up and toward the center, just a little bit!

How do you feel about the Ed Mika adapter? I've read about them but wasn't sure if they were worth the effort. That being said, I have some nice FD L glass, like a huge 300 prime... thing must be 8" in diameter, but I'd love to hook it up to my 5d3 or my 7D just for giggles... not sure if it's worth the investment in the adapter... Are they priced fairly decent?
Ken
