Now that's what I call a bird portrait. I can almost imagine you directing the bird: "Okay now arch your neck a little more and turn your beak towards the light" LOL ;DViggo said:Here's one from yesterday, angry bird, but got a couple of shots. 3' Octa on the left.
Does it show the whole shot on your computer guys, or do you have to scroll to see the bucket?

Stewart K, thanks for that. My brother died of lung cancer not yet a month ago and sometimes we do worse than not appreciating our health.
No more condolences please and I'll stay away from this topic, apologies. :-[
On Haida Gwaii other than Robins the birds you see primarily are eagles and ravens. The Haida in fact have two clans, north ravens, south eagles. Was told they generally get along well.
The bird variety don't always get along though. This was when I first arrived and hadn't had a chance to learn any tricks, so apologies for lack of focus. 1D4, 300 X2, almost vertical, was a really challenging BIF. The eagle was minding his own business when the raven started harassing him.

Thanks click - wouldn't normally post such poor photos but it was an "event". Oh how I wished I'd had a zoom, 100-400 would have been just great.

These 4 hummingbird pics are to compare my 7DII and 5DIII at high ISO. Both were shot at min focus distance at ISO 3200 with a 400mm f5.6L + EF 1.4II extender . 7DII images were croped to 16X9 , so just a littl off the top and bottom 5DIII images were resized to make comparing easier.I finally figured out that most of my focusing issues with the 7DII was due to AFMA being off. I used focal pro and tried 8 times using a gazillion shots and it always said -11 was the correct adjustment. I picked up a spider lenscal target and -11 was off quite a bit. -4 seems just perfect. I have since used focal again and it still says -11. anyways , see if you can tell which pic is from which camera before looking on flickr.

sedwards, I did try the "test". For some reason, the originals in CR never look great so it took a Flickr look to give the detail. Seems the grain of the 7DII may not be any worse than the 5DIII but I did feel the overall quality of the 5DIII was slightly better. Eye focus on one image seems off. Your thoughts?

Jack, eye focus probably looks off because i only have center focus point with this lens and extender combo. these little guys move way to fast for me to focus and recompose so as long as focus point is on the body it was as good as it got lol. as for the grain , keep in mind that the 5DIII images have been cropped to make them look the same size as the others which increases the appearance of grain.Jack Douglas said:
