How was your foxes photography?

I'm thinking about 7d II and use it with 100-400 II as my walk around BIF, wildlife and surfing combo.


The foxes photography was great. Any day going out and takes photos is a wonderful day!

I walked 11 kilometers with 5DMKIII w/bg and the 100-400II and a backpack. Though the 100-400II is not a real heavy lens, I noticed I need to practice more. In certain moments I wasn't able to hold the combo still while waiting for a special fox moment. With the gimbal+gimbal pan it was easy. But I did not use it all the time.

Sea Eagles from a nearby lake.
7DII with 300mm 2.8is 2x extender. Heavy crops

I got over 30 photos of this geese chase. Only a few of them were not in good focus.
Im happy with the focus performance of my 7DII :-)
Fantastic pictures!

However (and that was a BIG "however"...) how did the chase end? Please do tell.

Thanks for the nice comments
They didnt catch it.
They struggle a bit with the bird catching. But they catch a lot of fish.
I have some pictures af that to. But even 7DII and 600mm they are far away :-(
I could be really great with a 600mm F4 and extender :-)

Just posted some in-flight shots (my first post in the forum) in BIRD IN FLIGHT post. Sharing some portrait shots here. I am just a beginning in Bird photography and these shots might not be up to the mark to be shown here. Still wanted to give a try. All are taken with Canon 1000d + 55-250mm usually at f8.
