Glorious color and depth in all of these Socrate, exemplary photography Sir! I'm partial to the Greenie for the wonderful comp and love the Peep in #7. Killer profile shot!

Well I wonder why you bought a new camera, these are beautiful Socrate.

So any conclusion on the difference in your older equipment and the 7D?
The GB is so well done. Love the environment in it also.

Thanks. Linda. I did a short test with some flight shots today with the 7D. I shot about 700 pics and frankly I wasn't all that impressed with the results, especially looking the images a full res. The 7D does a great job with static subjects but somehow i can't get the same level of detail with the IF shots. I hope it is something I do wrong with the settings. So I need to do more shooting and figure that out. I didn't processed any of those IF shots yet, but I'll pick a few and see how they look after the editing.

Wow - Socrate. You do such nice work. These are just incredible. The Osprey is so close - wonderful detail and pose.

Glad to know why the Greenie looks a little off color. Interesting.

Other favorites: #4 (light, pose, BG), 7 (super sharp, pose, 3D look) and 8 (cool pose, crisp and clear).

Way to go on all these!

Thank you Cris. Always nice words from you.

Nice osprey butt shot and I see he caught a fish

(20D Awesome!) I think I will hold onto mine

Great perch for the greenie, I also love the skimmer and #7 & 8

Thanks, Noelle. Glad you liked the Greenie (read my reply to Chad's comment).
And yes I will hold onto the 20D

i'm always amazed at how much detail you can pull out of your images. rich in color depth and sharp as a tack. that last shot with the snake is quite the attention grabber. nice work all around. hey i'm still rocking with my 20D too! *highfive*

The snake compo worked out well. I think I like your "odds" better than your "ends".

I liked them, Socrate

I liked the little flappy burd stalking the fish.

I liked the Osprey about to munch the fish.

I liked the greenie on a palm tree - don't see THAT everyday

I liked the snake cause snakes is cool!

I liked the rest because they were taken by my idol, Socrate

Wish I had "second-tier" photos like these, Socrate. The 20D Osprey just shows we don't have to use The Newest Thing on the Market to get super shots. And that's a heckuva well-exposed, detailed Skimmer. But #9 takes the prize for me. Not only is it hypnotic, but there's a hint of menace as if it may jump out of the frame...Fine "Odds and Ends", my friend.

Best Wishes,
Steve

This is another brilliant series, Socrate. If I could get my best stuff to look half as good as your "odds and ends," I will be happy as a photographer.

Some of these are so good that I had to wonder how you ever passed over them to begin with!

#'s 1,2,8 & 9 (that Green Mamba is wicket awesome) are my favorites of this excellent set.

Dave

Thanks for the nice words, Dave. There is a tendency to look at the last photos you took today, so photos you took yesterday get put aside. I probably take more photos than I can handle.
