Some beauties, Steve. The hummer, deerkill and the cleanly perched nutmeg are standouts in this series.

Ken

Thanks, Ken. Sure is challenging using the 500 f/4 plus 1.4TC and just trying to find the tiny dang Nutmeg in the frame. For once, he was a willing subject...

Best Wishes,
Steve

Excellent work, love the Green-winged Teal. I think the 7D is high on the list to replace the 40D.

Great set Steve. 1,2,3,4 & 8 are my fav. Well done with your new toy, and congrats

Thanks, Migara. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but seems like my rush to be first in-line at Amazon for pre-ordering the 7D before anything like a review came out worked out ok.

Best Wishes,
Steve

Wonderful shots, can you tell me how you processed these? Were they shot in Raw?

Jeanette

Hi Jeanette,

Yes, these were shot in RAW,then sharpened, adjusted and converted to JPEG in Canon DPP's RAW software, then tweaked slightly further with Paint Shop Pro X2's Smart Photo FIx, finally ending up with a slight levels adjustment. That's my standard workflow nowadays.

Thanks,
Steve

Beautiful photos with the 7D, Steve. My favorites are the Hummer and Kildeer. The colors and clarity are amazing on both!

GENE

Thanks, Gene. I just read DpReview's in-depth analysis of the 7D. I'm glad my pre-order impatience for the 7D has been justified!

Best Wishes,
Steve

Nice job on the first outing. The teal is fabulous. You and I must be the only ones around who use PSP.

meant to ask, how do you like the bushhawk? I'm seriously thinking of getting the 7D for a back up of my MKIII which has 250000 shutter releases on it. I'd love the video. One pound off the weight I carry too.

Sorry Lil and I didn't have the pleasure of your company the other day, Linda. Hope you're on the road to recovery. Now that DpReview has given the 7D a glowing review, I can feel confident on recommending it.

Thanks,
Steve

Wow a great series Steve!
You got some gorgeous light on many of them too.
Congrats on your new 7D and these fine pics!
Martin

Thanks Martin! I just need to increase my "hit ratio", then I'll be a totally happy camper...

Great shots, Steve. The killdeer and the teal are my favorites. They are super sharp- Must be the great camera/great lens match.

Steve! Very impressive shots. Can't pick one. There all near perfect.
Gary March

Appreciate the kind words, Gary! Just gotta improve the "hit rate", there's definitely more of a 7D learning curve than on the 40D.

Great set of pictures Steve. My favorite is the Killdeer, one of the best I've seen. Those guys are fast!
