Thank you, Ron.
In "Macro BIF II" I'll show you some birds other than pijuns.

Peter, thank you for another excellent demonstration of the point that the "gray matter" makes a bigger difference than the "white matter" (aka, the red striped white matter).

These are really nice shots. When you take into consideration the instrument used to take them, they are even more interesting. I have seen some of your other BIF macro images, and I continue to be impressed with both the ability of the macros to AF fast enough for a BIF shot and with your talent.

Great job on these.

BTW - once you go RAW you may never go back!

Thank you so much, David, you are too kind and charitable a gentleman.
I get my share of lucky shots. However, normally my 100mm captures are like those three below.
As far as RAW is concerned, perhaps some day I might see the light.

Thank you, Gary, glad you like it.......pijuns and ducks in flight are my "signature"
shots, but please no "pijun master" otherwise Zoomer's (Mr. Zoom's) feelings might get hurt.

Happy to share, Martines.
Now, I don't know how close you can get to them Wood Ducks, but I'd suggest the 180L lens for starters......then work your way down to EF-S 60mm f/2.8 macro.

Thank you, Noelle....had a numerous flock of those the other day within the range of a 400mm lens, let alone a 500. However, I am waiting for some good light to go at them. Yet, the pickings have been rather slim this winter. It's turning out not to be a very good ducking season. A few shy Goldeneyes and Common Mergansers, and little flocks of friendlier Scaups and Buffalos. That's about it.
To hopefully get a flight of a diving duck I'd have to sit by the frozen lake for an hour or longer.....not really up to it.

Peter, my friend, you have my gears turning. I may have to try this sometime. Very beautiful shots indeed. I particularly like the positions of these pigeons in flight. This can't be easy to capture with a macro lens. Great job!
