Wire-tail Swallow. The bird is tiny and was far way, occupying only about 600x600 px. But the 300/2.8 II + 1.4xTC gives very sharp images on the 7DII. It tempts me to get the 400 DO II, but I am resisting.

Love the owl, swallow too.

Haven't shot anything new but I don't think I posted this from May before.

6D 300 X1.4 ISO 4000 I don't like shooting this high in ISO but ....

My most accessible bird subjects in mid winter Portland are the fed hummingbirds. With a three flash setup near the feeder I manage to nail them around sunset to dark. I'm using a 300+1.4exiii for 420mm and at 1/5000-1/6500 sec and f 8-10 T ISO 1000-1250. Here's a good representative shot. And yes the little bit of feeder could be edited out , but it is the current reality.

Another hummer. Note the pin feathers (new feathers coming in look like porcupine quills). This boy should have a wonderful gorget when it fills in.

Having a bit of trouble with one of my 100-400mm IIs. It gives much sharper images using silent shutter on the 7DII, I found out this morning. This nuthatch I took this afternoon using the silent shutter mode.

Nice picture, Alan.



Less vibration with the silent shutter?

I find the camera does not vibrate as much when you use the silent shutter mode, I use it as my default. I'm guessing here, but I think it is because it moves the mirror slower....

Wondering if this vibration has ever been noted with the 1DX?

I am still learning and I am working more on birds in flight, but here is my backyard buddy.
