p.1 #1 · Oh so common (8)

More test shots with the MKIII - nothing but ordinary birds/ducks while waiting for the exotic Bird of Paradise to show up. Could be a long wait

Most of these were taken very late in the day. MKIII, 400/5.6

#4 Common Merganser - first one I've ever seen. The Hooded Merganser is a lot more common than the Common Merganser around here.

Maggie, I am watching these come up with interest. The quality is showing through!
Clarity, sharpness and color saturation are great!
Love #3 and you are right--very handsome pidgeon!
Good work!

Good Golly Ms Molly....I mean Ms Maggie.
Quite the wonderful detail and color....can't wait to hear Ken(zoom) comment on the pigeon. Likely just a "quack"

really looking good with the MkIII

Good work, Maggie. I had decided to wait for the Mk3, but after seeing your shots I may change my mind.

# 3 and 8 are my favorites. I also like the composition in # 5.

Really nice series, Maggie. I also shoot with the 400 f/5.6 and love it. I wouldn't mind trying a Mark II or III instead of my 20D but I really can't complain.

Number 5 is a great capture.
