Thank you Dave, it's good to hear from you again. I am sure you and Dave have got some good shots too. Once I tried using the 200-400 on those raptors, and after the 3 hour in-flight shooting session my left arm was aching real bad.

You are killing me, Peter. Wonderful images.
- Love their intense look
- Great detail
- 3D popping. Seem like your owls would jump out of my screen
- Great background.
- You have all of my favorite owls.

Tam, we gotta have you come over here some day, perhaps when I finally prevail on CRC to start lure-flying their Peregrines. They have been hesitating with that, and one reason given to me was the difficulty of photographing the falcon as it attacks the lure.
I told them not to worry about that, there are all kinds of bird photographers who'd like to give that sorta challenge a try.

Besides, even if the Peregrine session number turns out to be too difficult for some, CRC have got other raptors which are easy to shoot in flight such as their BEs.

Oh, my god. this BE is just like "if the look can kill". I love it.
I am saving up for 1DX II now. Hopefully I can make a trip to see you in the near future, Peter.

That looks like a lot of fun! I'm late to the party but I can see why it would be hard to let go of that lens! These are stunning portraits, knife-sharp just where they need to be!

Great portraits of these majestic raptors, Peter!

Thanks for posting.

This is a beautiful set Peter.

Have you tried cleaning the contacts on both the lens and body? The first method and most recommended is to use a clean pencil eraser and then a blower to remove the rubber flakes. If that dose not work, you can use a contact cleaner such as tuner cleaner or WD-40. Do not shoot directly onto the contacts. Spray onto a cotton swab and then use that to clean the contacts. Both methods have worked for me with the second my preference.

Thank you Morris, I have cleaned the contacts on my 200 f/1.8 the way you suggest. It is only after I rubbed them with alcohol that the lens came back to life. Now, I am just keeping an eye on it.
