Lovely pose and shot. I'm very interested in getting the 1DX II and have one on back-order with maybe 90% certainty I'll buy by September so I'm all ears and eyes for comments/shots/insights that present shooters have.

Funny how we risk life and limb for bird photos!

I got lucky on this one. I'm working on a demolition project that has a Biological Monitor. The monitor found the nest and they cordoned off the area until the two chicks leave the nest. The bird seemed to be there most of the time but it did fly off for food once. Despite heavy machinery coming close to the nest, it doesn't seem to mind. Happy hunting!

Hi Tom.
Thanks for the info, I find it amazing how resilient / resistant to vehicles and machinery wildlife can be, they apparently don't perceive them as a threat when a human form would be seen as a threat.
I hope you are able to get many more shots.
Cheers, Graham.

Two mallards unremarkable photos posted to show the difference a better beamer can make.
One with flash other without. Sequential shots from 1dx at about 25 M and 1/1600 iso 2000 f4.5 EF 300 ii with 1.4ex. Same exposure used for each only difference is better beamer set on HSS. No post processing other than cropping applied.

No contest. A while back I investigated and was left somewhat confused on what exactly I should be getting and from where. Any suggestions?
