Very nice job, Ray, I believe you used the camera to its full capabilities.

P.S. I thought the name of the Head was Katana, w/o the n

Not bad.
I'd suggest a bit looser framing especially the height so that the vergaser doesn't feel any constriction in his swim.

I think I need to take a trip to Toronto! Can't believe you got this close to a hoodie! For some reason here in S.E. Michigan it is next to impossible even in places where there are lots of people and you would think the birds would be used to people. Excellent exposure!


comon up., I will show you around!

Katana Gimbal,

Taken yesterday at a park near Toronto, testing out the new head... I can't say more about it since I am a company rep., so visit my blog if you wish.

I will say that this is the sharpest image I have ever fired with this combo... with absolute certainty!

have a good weekend!


Raymond, I love ya, but that is one silly posting.

You've sold your very soul to the Corporate Devils for a few shekels, you head your post including 'katana head' and you mention it three times, and then you get all moral 'but I can't say more' like an innate sense of ethics prevents you from telling us that it slices, it dices, it makes chopped italian ices, it cooks a 12lb turkey in six minutes from frozen, and makes a damn fine pumpkin pie out of leftovers.

C'mon Raymond. Or would you prefer we call you Bobby May? ;-)

Raymond,

My apologies that you've taken offense at my (lame) attempt at humor. I've a lot of respect for your work and if I needed a new gimbal head I'd give you the first oppty to have my business. (I much prefer buying from 'little guys' --took all my business from B&H to a small shop that give me the same prices and personal service for that reason).

Plus: I LOVED Bobby May. The guy was a rock star and I've got a garage full of stuff I bought. Shamwows by the dozen.

Best to ya,
JB

Great shot, I like how the water reflection color compliments the brown in the Merganser.
