p.1 #1 · BIFs, MIFs, HIF, DFIF and all!


I'm testing the 40D's AF system these days. All seems sweeeet...lots more keepers than the XT.
All exifs embedded
Hey just don't get the wrong ideas here...I was a sharp shooter w the XT too
so let's start with older XT shot
1. Juvenile Western Gull (Larus occidentalis)

Now the 40D shots:
2. Hooded crow w larger than life piece of bread


This image is copyrighted by the owner



3. Common Spoonbill...Mr. ZOOM liked the Nello perspective so this is a 2nd keeper from that burst

4. Heron in Flight:

Bring on the faster guys Mallards in flight MIFs:
5. Female mallard

6. Someone call traffic control tower


This image is copyrighted by the owner



7. Male Mallard IF:

Now I thought if Ant can do it..I can do it too maybe not exactly the same IQ but then againg I don't have a MKIII either
8. DFIF

Nice IFs indeed

Great series, good to hear the 40D is focussing the way you want it
#1 still beats the rest though

Hey Neller.. Did you shoot any of these from the "LIMO" Great job buddy... But I like the MILF's the best.. I mean the MIF the best So you graduated to the next level... Dude just bight the bullet and get the new 50D, Holy Smokes did you see the Hi ISO on that thing I'm impressed... I might pick one up just for that reason along.... Anyone looking for a 30D? <------ Hint Hint

Nello, I'm running out the door to the airport but I gotta reply to YOU.

Nice in flights. Only you would get the butt of a dragon and post it!!

Great job on the mallards.

Ciao.

Swallows? not there yet geez..tough crowd...give some time i'm getting there though
About the 1st shot w the XT...although it was slow focusing, the weaker AA filter and bigger pixels gave sharper results per pixel 40D is tougher on the lenses IMO
I would expect people would choose #1..is crisper
Having said that no way I could get those mallards w a XT darn' fast little buggers

Thx Brenton! in #1 there was another seagull that just flew out of the frame to the right

Cool nick dude if you refer to the underwings being dark..YES I pulled the shadows a bit but not too much 'cause it brings out horible noise

Yeah last shot is the ultimate test for the AF..those dam' dragons always fly in weird patterns and they're so small it took me about 20 shots (in 3-4 frames bursts) to get that 1 in focus!

Bats? bring them on..i'm ready I saw some in Seattle this summer but they always come out late when the light is pretty much gone
Thx for the comment

Nice job on these buddy.

I see a trend here. It doesn't matter if it's ducks on the ground or flight > You always go for the butt shot ........

Is there some special hidden meaning we need to be aware of

Good job Mr Nelloooo

Nello, I as so tired of looking at ducks coming at me in-flight. It is about time someone stepped up to the plate and mastered the 'going-away' shots I really like #6, the formation, the BG the full view and beautiful wings of these three, that is a nice shot my friend!
Who did that crow beat up to rob a whole loaf of bread from Hey, cool DIF on the getaway, nice sharpshooting.............take care!

Nello -
In-flight shots are always challenging and fun. But don't overdo the "Mr. Zoom" perspective.

Yes glad you see a trend here buddy There is a special meaning to all the butt shots...DAM' BIRDS ALWAYS RUN AWAY FROM ME
and that applies for insects too

You're sooooo right Karl! as always incoming shots are so boring these days
That crow was wicked..I saw a shadow on the asfalt and looked up and saw that golden thing in its beak I was like holly cr*p
Hey I promise next time i'm shooting DFIF i'll try my best to get the head in the frame too
