#5 - The "jump & shake cycle" is even more effective than the "shake cycle".

Thanks. No soap, but might look good with bubbles.

Thanks, Glen. I would have been happier using f8 and ISO 400 or 800, but after spending four chilly hours behind a blind, I was lucky that an eagle showed up.

Thanks, Gero. I just bought a high-definition camcorder, so hope to get some good video shots, then I can make DVD's combining video and still shots.

I kept saying..."cool," ...."that is so cool"

Great shots. Impressed that you captured these with your 100-400. I love the versatility of this lens, but I would love "even more" getting captures like these. These are just great shots.

Hi,

nice serie.
Especially I like picture 2 & 4.
The sharpness and lightness are perfect. The colors are little weak.
Contrast is good.
I like your pictures.

Thanks, everyone. I was about ten feet from the water and it was about another 30-40 feet to the eagle.

Thanks, Dave. Vancouver Island, between Duncan & Campbell River is as specific as I can be.
