Lovely shot, LSeries. Nicely done.

Last Sunday, I used my 400mm DO II + 1.4xTC on the 5DSR for shots of a kingfisher. This morning, I took the 100-400mm II + 5DSR to the same spot and got a similar shot. The zoom at 400mm stands up well to the prime at 560mm as I was reasonably close and the crops (100%) are not extreme. Usual processing of DxO Optics Pro plus USM 100% 0.9px.

Very nice pictures, Alan. I love that bird. 8)

Wow, AlanF, that is a very cool bird, and a great shot. Congrats on the pic

 

[LSeries]

Great shot, L Series. That picture just made a liar out of me as it used the same lens as mine but you used ISO 1600. HA Ha. I guess since I use my 7D2 for BIF I usually keep the shutter speed over 1/2500. But, at least for my copy, ISO 1600 would take a lot of time to clean up the noise.

Brian

Well, ISO 1600 is often way too much for 7D2. I usually shoot at ISO 1000 max.

V nice Lseries, Alan and Keith.

With all the grumbling about low ISO DR lately it's re-emphasized for me how hard it is to ever be down there. This is not very good but it's ISO 12500 because I needed shutter speed and some DOF. There were literally 100's of Pine siskins visiting on a drizzly day.

The Pine siskins were back today with a vengeance, dozens of them behaving rather badly. Not as cloudy so a little better shot.

Jack,
I like this a lot. The color and the "environment," nice.
Must be a treat to watch these guys play around.

Not sure. It probably helped when they spread their wings.

Jack and Cog,

Very nice shots, guys. 8)

 

[Jack Douglas]

Thanks guys.

Riley, I think we agree that when we get to experience these simple things in life it's way more pleasing than what the average person could imagine. I thank my parents for instilling curiosity and a love of nature in me.

They were swooping almost like starlings in clouds in the sky. A first for me ... and then they're gone for a day or so.
