Took this GBH shot yesterday morning. Low light forced me to shoot at ISO 1600.

Very nice result. What did you use for this shot?

Jeff, nice detailed shot with complementary background. Now, only if the model were a little better groomed.

Hi Vadek.
Very nice shot, a fine looking creature and for the purists not a ring in sight.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Vadek.
Another excellent shot, you can see every bead of water on his head. He also seems to be moving pretty fast judging from the 'bow' wave.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi guys, have been in Malaysia, Borneo and Hong Kong for the past 3 weeks with intermittent e-mail contact and survived two typhoons. Here are a couple of bulbuls, a redwhiskered and a lightvented, taken this morning by the ferry piers. (5DSR + 100-400mm II).

Hi ecss.
Nice shot, shame he was hiding his beak behind a bit of green but then that is beyond anyone's control so it is what it is.

Cheers, Graham.

A crested serpent eagle taken on our first day, late in the evening, in Sabah. This required iso6400, 1/250s at f/8 at 800mm with the 5DIV, hand held.

Hi Alan.
A couple more excellent shots, but it always makes me chuckle a little when we see an immaculately groomed bird with the exception of the one feather like your first shot, now that is a bad hair day!
Is that eagle giving you the leave me alone look!

Valvebounce,
You're being a bit critical, aren't you ;D 8) about just a bit less well groomed?
But, the eagle is annoyed!

AlanF,
Beautiful shots, I say.

@ ecss My first glance impression was, why bother but viewing the higher res image I think it's very nice in its context.

@ Alan Nice as always. I'm sure you had a blast.

Had what was left of Lidia blow in yesterday morning but just before there was some great light at Lake Hodges as the sun peeked over the mountains. Managed to get several sequences of the Western Grebe chicks riding their parent's backs.
