Hello all,

I'm a little bit shy to post something after all the beautiful pictures I have seen on this thread, but I will try anyway. So, here are a few bird potraits of mine. Hope you will like them.

One of the first few shots with my new to me canon 100-400mm L lens. Shot on a 5d Mark III cropped down to about 44% of the original, I was concerned about 400mm on a full frame but after cropping the original and getting these results I have no further reservations. Exported from aperture to 50% hopefully didn't degrade quality to much.

That first seagull shot is really sharp, thanks for the share. Which lens and camera did you use?

I have heard great things about the 70-200 f/4 L both IS and non IS, this shot backs up some the claims to great sharpness from the lens.

A lot of great shots from al posters, something about those seagulls jumped out at me, both great composition, the close up almost looks fake, a stuffed seagull. Really sharp throughout, especially the eyes in both shots.

Thanks again.

I don't think I will ever sell or let my 70-200 F4/L (non IS) go. It was a shot taken by one of these and a 40D that made me choose Canon as my first digital SLR and lens. It's easily my favorite lens in my kit and my only L series lens so far. I'm really excited at the potential of this lens and a 5DMkiii as I'm very close to pulling the trigger on one of those!

thanks again for your kind comments, much appreciated.

Nice Kea B+W portrait 1982Chris.
Some great sharpness/detail on the eye and beak.

 

[K-amps]

Nice shots Chris.

On the Male Takahe shot... what have you done to the background... it is the weirdest blur... almost a criss cross pattern blur..
